This Is A Respectable House Poem by Raj Dronamraju

This is a respectable house
Problems should be resolved through hard work and exercise
No sympathy in this house
Stingy hearts and stingy wallets in this house

There is no greater hurt for a mother than a son who doesn't mince words
And make phony nice for the public presentation of family

This is a respectable house
Keep your complaints to yourself
No love and no future in this house
Survival of the oldest in this house

There is no greater rejection for a mother than a son who leaves and leaves behind everything
Slams the door on mistreatment
And takes that as justice

You have lived too long
And that is not respectable
Your lungs and your heart should be riddled with tumors
And that would be respectable
