Boy

Your mother is always right: always right. When you wake up, you will make your bed and your room will be spotless. I understand dad. You will eat breakfast every morning and you will cook it also. After that you will finish stacking the wood. You will treat everyone with respect and will never set a hand on a female. I understand dad. You will never touch any drugs and you are allowed to drink when you are 21.You will be grateful for everything that is given to you and will not be a brat. You will listen to everything I say. Make sure you understand your actions in life are always a reflection of our last name. You got this. I believe in you.  

Dialogue

The drunken middle brother of three came speeding in the driveway, slamming on the breaks. He flung open the door screaming up a storm. The youngest brother and his mother are sitting on the couch watching a movie.

The mother jumped up worried and said what in the heck are you doing?

The middle one yelled back I hate that little shit!

The young one yelled back what in the heck did I do now?

He said you called the cops?

Nope I didn’t!

Well then why are they here?

Because you are wasted and driving your car!

The mother started yelling and crying at the middle brother for driving drunk.

The cops started knocking at the door. Which the young brother answered.

The cops said I’m looking for the owner of this black car that’s parked in the driveway.

The middle brother stumbled to the door and said I own that car is there a problem?

The cop replied yes you are under arrest for driving under the influence.

The mother screamed with tears running down her face. You can’t take my son!

The cop replied that we have too! He hit a car and took off! The cops left with the middle son and he was charge with hit and run!

The youngest brother said mom it’s probably better that he’s with them because he was going to kill himself or someone else.

The mother replied you’re probably right.

howl

I saw the minds of my generation being brainwashed by teachers, professors, and bias media,

Who expect everything to be handed to them from some government social program, feeling entitled to anything and everything,

Who have no idea of the meaning of hard work, thanks to pathetic parenting,

I saw the minds of my generation intrigued with their iphones, designer clothes, and “nice rides,” (all charged to mommy and daddy’s credit card.)

Who don’t think deeply about anything, afraid to stand for anything for fear of offending someone else.

Who sit and watch as our country continues to be buried in debt.

I witnessed the minds of my generation forget what our country was founded on, forget about morals, forget about standards, and forget what is important.

TV

Millions of choices but nothing to see;

Water in the sea, but none to drink.

Sestina

Words can’t describe the pain

I couldn’t speak for days

It all happened so quickly

And there was no one to blame

I was only a boy

Not ready for real life

Now it would be a different life

But it would not stop the pain

Where was that boy

I counted the days

Was God to blame

If only I could escape quickly

People found out quickly

They tried to help our life

And explained that fate was to blame

I tried to hide the pain

It all dragged on for days

I wouldn’t wish that on any boy

What would you expect from a boy

With a world that changed to quickly

Things got better after many days

I question everything in life

And watched my brothers evade the pain

They thought they were to blame

I’m not sure why they took the blame

Surly no one could fault a boy

Still no one understood such pain

It was my mother that stood strong so quickly

My example of how to live my life

She was there through all the days

It seems so long since those days

I finally see no one is to blame

I can handle this life

No longer a boy

I grew so quickly

Accepting the pain

My days progress with only periodic pain

Forgiveness overpowered blame but not quickly

Life and death something I learned as a boy
