Poem Commentary

Funny how mysteries sometimes intertwine, to all being the same, depending on broad or shallow viewpoints.

Ungrateful Relatives

UNGRATEFUL  RELATIVES


Two  lovers  of   commitment
Eyes  of  one  beholder,  no longer  holds  ya
So the  other  exercises  freedom  from  rejection
Blaming  each  other  as  surely  as  being  selfish
Ungrateful Relatives?
A  niece receives  safe  passage  from  shores  from  foreign
Helping  hand  of  diplomatic relations acquired  from  love
Family  first  in  supporting,  the  niece  smuggles  drugs  for  her  boyfriend
As  DEA  raids  and  indicts  her  Uncle  for  supporting  fugitives
Niece  blames  Uncle  for  arranging  for  her  immigration
Ungrateful  Relatives?
Sons  are  supported  from  pampers  to  self  sufficiency
Dad  sought  to  engage  solely  through  weekend  activities
Sons  still  feel  shorted  for  a  lifetime  of  missed  weekdays
Both  feeling  love  has  been  given  and  not  reciprocated
Ungrateful  Relatives
Youths  that  have  dropped  out  striving  in  illegal  modes  of  survival
Seizing  in  the  moment  of  economic  clarity  by  sole  propriety
Millions  of   product  sold,  surpassing  corner  stores  in  volume sold
Making  the  best  out  of  disparity  of   sharing  in  American  achieving
Both  advocating  for  gangsters  and  policing  to  curb  competitions
Ungrateful Relatives
Cousins  along  the  same  line,  separated  by  opposite sides insight
Holding  on  to  beholding  a  view  in  line  with  personal  rights
Seems  to  be  gospel  in  decree,  but  always met  with  hostility returns
Matters  of  personal  concerns  of  perception  affecting  you  and   me 
We are Ungrateful Relatives!


I  can’t  see  you,  if  you  don’t  see  me…….
No  matter  how  many  times  the  coin  flips, you  remain  opposite  from me
Walking  in  your  shoes  don’t  fit  me  and  your  britches  are  too  big…..
How  will  I ever  understand  or  even  love  My  Ungrateful  Relatives?

Great poem. Yes we are ungrateful relatives and we have so much to be grateful about.

Thanks so much for commenting....

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
