The Old Man And The Young Boy Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Old Man And The Young Boy

Rating: 5.0


the old man says
to the young boy, ' since you are here
you have to follow rules, like
don't do this, and don't do that'

the young boy, unable to understand
asks, ' what is this and what is that? '

the old man beats him with a cane
and makes him kneel
before God

the young boy still does not
understand
why he is being punished
for not having
understood at all
