*Live from the Maury Povich show......a woman named Cindy sits on the panel impatiently waiting for the DNA results to find out if Roscoe(who sits across from her) is the father of 2 year-old Shae-Quan.*



MAURY:I have the results here. Roscoe, when it comes to the care of 2 year-old Shea-Quan......you are "NOT" the father!

(Roscoe jumps up with excitement. Cindy storms off the set cupping her face full of tears. Next, the camera makes a close up parting shot of lil Shea).



His words..............

This is my 2nd year of breathing

seems like my life lost attention since the first time I was teething

We're going through this life long search

for the brotha who knocked up my mother

introducing me to birth

My God, I know it's hard, but I know he'll come

as a real man and he'll stand by his words and action

Mom makes a big deal about this man she don't trust

when the last 3 guys test negative

and she still giving up the butt

gettin me all dressed to show up for another appearance

with all these cameras and strange people

evoking interference

I need clearance, this is embarrasing in my young state

all this mendacity increasing my heart and lung rate

Roscoe couldn't be my father even if he really was

seeing my cute little face

shushes, boos, sneers and ratings buzz

But I get swooned away everytime I hear,

"You lookin more like your daddy."

My resemblence has no bearing, but you can rest assured

I AM ME....

Will it take another talk show to reveal proof behind the proof?

Or when I learn to walk and talk and

add rebellion to my youth?

This is when the resentment becomes bitter

and bitter becomes hate

and hate creates debate by the time

I hit my teen state

other tots my age can relate, and my silence grows louder

the least I can say is mom shows me love

and couldn't be more prouder

All that will show until loneliness grows

Mommy gets a new boyfriend and so the story goes

another new saga between other men and my mother

on the same show, same scenario,

but now a new little brother



Stay tuned.
