"When catastrophe happened to me..."


Poem Artwork

Why I Write Poetry Every Day

The time I came to write poetry
And to do it obsessively was
When catastrophe happened to me
My world collapsed around me because
Of factors in my life which go back
To my childhood my birth and before
Due to fundamental things I lack
I had kind relatives then no more
And I was left with my Uncle Jack
Who tried to take all I had away
Which caused money problems to this day

He stole my inheritance and sued
To take my home put me on the street
I got a good attorney and beat
Him while writing about his attack
As outlet while he nearly killed me
And now by men like him I am viewed
As a threat but they have not stilled me
Hotheaded conservatives like him
Who always somehow seem drawn to me
Make me liberal and take a dim
View of their vicious chicanery

So in poetry I found a way
To save my sanity day by day

This is a powerful statement made through example of your own personal crisis that will no doubt help others who may be going through similiar situations. Well done Steve.

Money often causes relatives to become strangers and enemies. I'm saddened to know what you are and have been going through.

My Dad had inheritance problems as well when he was alive, dealing with all his siblings, so I can understand how sad you feel, even when it's your uncle who did this to you, when he was supposed to be your protector.

I'm glad you and your attorney had beat him; but then you really have lost an uncle during the process. There is no real winner here, even if your uncle wins, he would have lost you as well.

A wonderful heartfel piece! Now I know you better.
