[hometext] => This is in no way a political poem, and has no political motive. its just a poem about this authors life and family opinions, so if your gonna leave a political motivated comment, save it for another post.
[bodytext] => The working class, the working class Where I started, and where I'll end We've suffered through the times Pushing on, some wounds still to mend A red faced lad, with thick brown hair Your typical Irish mick My father a hard worker Because suits made him sick My mother, a real woman Proud of our South Boston neighborhood Six kids, three and three As they say, like a good Irish woman should Though our incomes are small We still find glee Hard labor all day long Finish with a stiff whiskey John F Kennedy, our savior still The Irish can be presidents, inspiring us all Such an impact on our culture His portrait still on our dining room wall We have never owned a home Always had to rent Taking care of our immigrating family And anyone else old Ireland sent At our dinner table We spoke the Gaelic And church on Sundays My mother a devout Catholic We're known quite often For potatoes and beer For the butt of these jokes Have never caused a tear Though I'm still working class, we all do know You can be anything, from any race, no matter what they say For what Kennedy did for us poor Irish in 1960 A black lad is doing the same for some people today [comments] => 1 [counter] => 111 [topic] => 43 [informant] => dthomas89 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
