The Eldest Born Knows Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The Eldest Born Knows

Rating: 4.5


And like the eldest born knows,
Experiments take place.
And like the eldest born knows,
Expectations have their weight...
Since a quickness to do,
Eliminates time thought wasted.

And like the eldest born knows,
Appreciation isn't stated...
To keep the others safe.
No one protects the eldest.
Only fate awaits.

It becomes taken for granted,
The eldest is used...
To abuse with an escape,
With lies that are told by others...
Who will never know what it is like,
To take what the eldest does.

The eldest has to learn quick,
To do everything and take care of business...
Alone!
