Bastard: usually offensive: a child born to parents who are not married to each other. / Irregular, inferior, or of questionable origin.
Aprosexia: abnormal inability to sustain attention. (Today’s NaPoWriMo‘s word prompt)
Which son's the bastard?
The eldest asked his father.
His time was coming.
He took advantage
Of his dad's aprosexia
To change his last will.
Becoming the heir,
Sending his other siblings
Into poverty.
Post 2 of 26 I´ll be doing this april to participate in #AtoZChallenge, #NaPoWriMo and #CampNaNoWriMo. I apreciate any comment, or doubt that you have about my topics or the challenge.

Also, my wonderful crew, #NaNoTribuMX started a micro stories challenge in Spanish this month. (We´re still voting the words we will use this month). This is my entry, too: B de Bastardo.

I had to look up aprosexia. No doubt about the son’s question. It’s him. Technically or not.

Totally agree, and thanks for the reminder, I already added the meaning of aprosexia at the top of the post.

Thank you so much, April was supposed to be a relaxing month, with just a daily haiku… somehow now I´ve got loads of open projects, luckily, my friends are standing by, cheering every day and this motivates me to go on.

This is such a cool poem! It made use of the dual meaning of the word «bastard».
By the way, I want to let you know I accidentally permanently deleted your comment on my letter B post. WordPress’ iOS app was updated and for whatever reason, comments are extremely slow to load, then when I tried to load it, I somehow managed to click the button next to it, which is a new one, the perma-delete one. I sincerely apologize! From now on, I’ll be using my computer to interact with comments until this stupid thing gets fixed.

Thank you so much, it was my Eureka moment on the shower, hihihi. No worries about the comment, technology sometimes does funny things, I still miss the classic WordPress, it was a bit easier to copy-paste entries. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll go and comment again. 🙂

Oh, I think I found your comment in my spam queue after all. Apparently I didn’t delete it but marked it as spam. Going to check it on my computer now, as somehow I can’t read it on my phone.

Ha! I find it interesting that bastard is still an insult today in many languages. Kind of a medieval concept…

Indeed, as if by calling them that way made people less valuable, less of a human and more like a mistake. This is so wrong.

Having a child out of wedlock isn’t nearly as shameful. The word associated doesn’t sound nice but then if you used any other word I’m sure it would sound awful as well because of its meaning. Humans shouldn’t find offensive in a word but unfortunately we do. Happy A2Zing!

Well said, your words reminded me of the bard´phrase: ‘A rose by any other name would smell as sweet’… Here, on the contrary, people would find a way to make it offensive somehow. Quite sad, indeed.
