The Grand Man

In a hospital down the hall...
At 9:57 A.M. a boy was born based on nature's law.

It's the summer of fifty-nine...
The greatest moment ever in Doverman's life.

For all he ever wanted was a boy...
Now he feels unsurpassed joy.

The kid was taught like all the others...
He had a father and a mother.

Was also raised in respect with high mentions.
Never spoke for himself or gave opinions.

When you grow up you will learn...
The same things your dad did in his turn.

Listen closely that now you will make a stand...
You must grow up to be a grand man.

Away from home to study the boy left...
Now going up against life's hardest test.

As he was away from his hometown he forgot...
The things his dad of manhood taught.

He changed the way he walked at first...
Started wearing lip stick, purse and a skirt.

Some people commented that one day...
He went to see his dad to let him know he was gay.

So he decided to visit with out sending a note...
With his dad not ready cause the boy about it never wrote.

On the streets a girl called to Doverman...
"Hey there daddy how's it been?

I'm your son, don't you recognize me?
The new grand man is who you now see."

The secret of someone doesn't lay outside...
One should always judge by what's inside.

Doverman only listened to his friends...
But not to his son like he should of instead.

For this reason he abandon his son forever...
Doverman was angry but not very clever.

One can not override nature's creations...
Live in peace for it's their life and their selections.

Hey Doverman be happy with what you have...
Best live and let live then setting up halve.

If from the sky you get lemons in a burst of rain...
Just pick them up and learn to make lemonade.

Then as the years went on by...
His son started not to write...

And as everyone along with time got older...
Doverman started to try his son consider.

But it was too late and in a trip to the mall...
His cell phone went off with the saddest call of all.

In the hall way of the same hospital in a room...
There on the bed Doverman's son very sick stood.

Two days later of a very strange illness died...
Doverman never in his life so much has cried.

He sat next to his son in room number ten...
Screaming out loud to god to be forgiven.

That moment was the summer of eighty-six...
The story of a father and son ended like this.

Remember my friend to the lesson I send...
We can't just hate what we don't understand.

Come on everyone, we have to have compassion...
Everyone has a meaning in life's ever growing evolution.

The one that decides never to forgive...
His life only sadness is bound to eternally give.

So you best heed my words and the facts know...
Or you will spend all your life in your own inferno.

I'm the creator of this poem...
Remember me for my name is Cristian Dolon...
Dedicated to the bi's and gays that in life walk alone.

Enough said.

    Whaaaw!

    This poem/ story could really be an inspiration to judgemental people. I love the fact that you are not just a poet. You are a person who tries to teach important life values to anyone who is willing to learn from it. I have always been a open minded person. I'm not gay myself but I do have gay friends. It is nothing wrong with that to me but to others they sometimes judge me for what they don't know. They spread rumors saying that I'm gay also but that doesn't bother me because I live for me and not them. Life is too short to base your life on what others have to say about you.

    I'm gay... but not that gay... I dress like a dude... and talk like a dude, though I don't know my dad no more so yeah... or anyone else that is related to me lol

    This was really sad though, that even his dad could force to forget about him.

    Bravo

      True... But the thing is that...
      In the story, the dad forgives him.
      When he really shouldn't because there is nothing wrong with being gay or bi.
      However, at the end, the dad thought that he should love his son no matter how he is.

      But like all things... He was a little too late.

          Your dad is not the one that has to forgive you man...
          It is YOU who has to forgive him.
          There is nothing wrong and it is NOT a crime to be gay/bi.
          Get it? Good!

              Dude, there is a Spanish saying that says:

              You can not straighten a bent limb on a tree.

              Which means that if you try to straighten it, the limb will break.

              Which in turn mean that "normal" people are supposed to be man with girls and girls with man. So more or less you (and the people like you) are the bent limb on the tree but you are there. You are giving the tree life just like all the rest. And even though you are bent, you are not hurting anyone EXCEPT those that envy the fact that you have a life like no other. And yes, I am not gay and will never be, but a gay life would be the most interesting there is to me because of the simple fact that I am not gay. Simple as that.

                Sorry I was gone for a while so I couldn't reply.

                yeah im sure they envy the gay bashings and the beatings and the insults lol im pretty sure envy is not the right word.

                I rather be broken then bent.

    wow.... this was filled with alot of compassion for others. we always need to be aware that each of us is made by God and for God... and show that we care. judging isn't up to us... we are called to love all. well put.

    oh.. only one glitch (sorry... i may be wrong, but i think line 46 should be rang, not ringed... it just threw me a bit as i was reading) other than that... smooth as could be.

    1.Gay guys don't wear skirts not really anyways because the ones i know don't wear any
    2.they don't have lipstick and purse i'm pretty sure

    But otherwise good poem.

      That's how it sometimes end up... Anyway, I made it like that so his dad didn't suspect! But what you say is not all true... People that are gay want to be a girl. I know you know what I mean. Trust me... I have many gay friends but I'm not gay myself and NEVER will be. I respect them though.

      At least you know that I love you for what you are and what you are capable of... Not for what I see or "think" you are simply by looking at you.
