I don't like the word please

I don't like the word "please"
It makes me feel so bad
It makes me think of childhood
When every day was sad...
I remember Father's face,
tears flowing silently,
as he whispered on the phone
"please don't fire me..."
I remember sister's eyes
when our father died,
leaving us two all alone
to beg and plead for life...
I remember reaching out my hands
and begging shamelessly
from people I had never met
and from people who knew me...
I remember sister's screams
piercing through her bedroom door
as she pleaded breathlessly
"please...oh please no more!"
I don't like the word "please"
Avoid it while you can!
For when you're forced to use it
Only then you'll understand...

Wow!
Not what I thought I was getting into.
I really can't say much more.
Your poem says it all............................!

Wow. A really powerful message lies in here, one that I don't quite grasp unfortunately, but even still I feel the ripples and outer edge of it crashing into me as a whole, and it's almost enough to topple me into understanding it.
Very well done. The differences of each stanza create image after image, of a very surprising, and what I would view as a "tearjerker" movie. |
