    Poem Commentary

    Life nowadays is truly difficult to face...and as a poet, I want to make a difference =) Hope you'll enjoy this!

    What They Do Not Know

    They said that life nowadays is too difficult to face,
    There are so many problems out there that overwhelmed you
    What they do not know is that
    It may be difficult to face sometimes,
    But as long as you can overcome the challenges it brings,
    You know that in the end, the victory will just be there.

    They said that people these days
    Give due importance to outward appearance;
    What they do not know is that
    Kindness and genuine heart
    Are the characteristics of true beauty 
    And that is what's more important.

    They said that if you don't have any riches
    You cannot find real happiness;
    What they do not know is that
    True happiness cannot be measured
    By the number of houses, cars and money that you have,
    But by what and who you have in life.

    They said that once you live in the USA
    Your life will truly improve;
    What they do not know is that
    The reason why you immigrate, work and sacrifice
    Is because you want your family's life back home to be better.

    They said that the world is heading nowhere
    Every day, everywhere there's always chaos;
    What they do not know is that
    The real reason why the world is in trouble
    Is solely because people want to be better than the others.

    They said that I should show what I can do
    That's why through this poem I want people to know
    That there's still a place for improvement
    And there's still a good future ahead of us
    Only if each one of us is willing to help, accept, love and understand each other.

    I like this, especially what you said about imigrating to the US: They said that once you live in the USA Your life will truly improve; What they do not know is that The reason why you immigrate, work and sacrifice Is because you want your family's life back home to be better! I agree with you 100% and i miss my family back in BG!

    Thanks! It is really true! Now that I'm here in the US, i feel more lonesome. Thanks to technology I can reach my family in so many ways ;) take care and God bless! -viejay04

    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.
