    Poem Commentary

    this poem is about everything i want to say to my dad but can not becuase he doesnt allow me to express how i feel without twisting what i say or putting words into my mouth

    But... my Words I must chew

    There are so many things I would
    like to say to you
    but...my words I must chew
    Only because you say your the adult and I'm the baby colt
    You realize that what I may say, may make sense
    but instead you think I'm witty and dense
    So I with hold my thoughts with all my might
    and let you think you have won the fight
    You become irate at me for not "using my head"
    and yet all you think, is that there is air in there instead
    You will soon realize all that is taught to me will not benefit you, but only me
    I can't describe all the things I would like to say to you

    But...my words I must chew

    I know how tough it is to bite your tongue. You can take some satisfaction in knowing that the only validation you really need is your own. Great stuff, Kym.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
