I thought it was Mother's day yesterday but it was not. It was today (at least in UK). It gave me extra 24 hours to compose this song I had written. It can now be listened at:

Please listen to it and leave your constructive comments. The lyrics can be found there as well (if you click "lyrics") but I will post it here as well.
THE ERRATIC SON
Honesty you taught me mother,
Deception I chose to trust
I befriended lies in the past, alienated trust
Conscience you named me mother
I couldn’t live up to its name
Left foolish acts far behind, bruised hands remain
Wisdom you gave to me mother
Don’t know why it has been spent
Bought arrogance in vain, without your consent
Chorus:
Mind too numb to think
Sight too blurry to see
Plot too hard to believe
In a prison cell I live
Guitar Solo
Love: you gave it to me mother
Taught a lot about respect
Respecting a girl became an abstract concept
Feed the hungry, help those in need
Fight for the people you said
I’m watching from far away as people bleed to death
Conscience you named me mother
I couldn’t live up to its name
Left foolish acts far behind, bruised hands remain
Blinds slowly open
Dark clouds still hanging
Facing adversity
I still see the silver lining
