Analysis of Reify
gregg connolly 1956 (pennsylvania)
Family, the bedrock, we are best
Society on the crest, not like the rest
Supposed belief, digested misconception
Presumed dogma, never inception.
Evidence of such, the rhetoric assures
Question this divination, pyretic pitch soars
The proof is in the pudding, our children wither
parents somehow not in with being a tither
daycare, schools, and activities raped bare
yet not a care, how our children fare
Pay for the future, are you insane
Life is about now, don’t be a bane
Will we ever truly love our spawn as one whole
And ensure their vitality, their spirit, their soul ?

About this poem
The american psyche is full of abstact tenets and dogmas that we believe but are not actually practiced, instilled or codefied into our culture or society. The belief in family is one such misconception we believe.
