    Poem Commentary

    this experiance was of course something worth writing about, the emotions and the innosense creating a reality of everyday

    THE JEHOVAH WITNESS

     THE JEHOVAH WITNESS

     

    IS LIFE AS IT SHOULD BE

    WITH ALL LIFES RESPONSIBILITIES

    A FRONT DOOR WITH NO ENTRANCE

    BUT SHOWERED WITH FLOWERS

    TODAY A GROUP OF PEOPLE COMING TO MY HOME

    JUST TO SEE ME

    AS THEY COME UP THE DRIVEWAY, THEY PAUSE

    AND THEY SEE THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS

    THEY SEE THEY BLOCK THE FRONT DOOR

    SO THEY WALK UP ANYWAY

    AND THEY LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS

    AS THEY’RE LOOKING THEY WONDER

    THESE ARE SPECIAL PEOPLE

    AND SO THEY WALK AWAY, AND THEY WONDER

    JUST TO WALK TO THE ANOTHER DOOR

    BUT, A DOOR THAT’S OLD AND POOR

    AND I’M SEEING THEM

    BECAUSE I SEEN THEM LOOKING AT THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS

    AS I WALK TO OPEN THE DOOR

    WHAT I SEE IS THREE BEAUTIFUL JEHOVAH WITNESSES

    YET I NOT KNOW TILL THEY SPEAK

    THEY STEP INSIDE MY HOUSE

    NOT ASKING FOR MONEY, OR ANYTHING

    JUST CHECKING TO SEE IF I’M BLUE TODAY

    THE THREE JEHOVAH WITNESSES

    THEY STAND COMFORTABLE BY THE DOOR

    ONLY TO SHARE SOME PARTICULAR VERSES FROM THEIR BIBLE THEY BELIEVE MORE

    AS I SEE THE THREE JEHOVAH WITNESSES

    I SEE ALL THEIR STRENGHT AS ONE

    SO AS THEY SEARCH FOR MY ANSWERS

    I LISTEN AS THE ANSWERS THEY’VE GIVEN HAVE WON

    THE ONE JEHOVAH WITNESS, THE ONE WHO SPEAKS

    AND THE ONE JEHOVAH WITNESS SO YOUNG AND PRECIOUS WHO PEEKS

    BEHIND THE OTHER ONE JEHOVAH WITNESS WHO’S SEEKS

    AS THEY WATCH AND THEY LEARN

    THE THREE JEHOVAH WITNESSES

    THEY FEEL A GREAT COMFORT SPEAKING WITH ME

    AS I LISTEN TO WORDS THAT MAY VERY WELL BE

    I NEVER TALKED TO JEHOVAH WITNESSES

    BUT YET TODAY I DO

    THEY HAVE LEFT AN IMPRESSION, AND A LASTING ONE NEW

    WHICH CONSUMES MY VERY THOUGHTS, NOW 

    SO THEY LEAVE ME A BOOK, A BOOK I WILL READ  

    JUST TO FIND WHAT I THINK I BELIEVE

    JUST TO BELIEVE WHAT I REALLY DO NEED

    I AM NOW THE JEHOVAH WITNESS AND LIFE IS NOW WHAT IT SHOULD BE

    That was a beautiful story mostly all my family are witnesses most ppl dont understand what Jehovah's Witnesses really go thru n hve to endure and thy do so because theyre only tryin to follow the bible n imitate Jesus which most ppl mmistakly believe Jehovah Witnesses dont believe in n obviously Witnesses r happy ppl because they look forward to an assuring hope n thy only want others to find peace n hve this hope also n come every closer to God n his Son

    THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ENJOY A SPECIAL MOMENT IN LIFE

    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.
