Mother to Son Parody

This is a parody of the poem Mother to Son by Langston Hughs. The tone is giving it is advisory telling someone to never give up. I am writing as Steve to his mother from the book Monster.


Well, mom, I’ll tell you:
Life for me has been difficult
there have been different people
and drama,
and a lot of friends
and places where the carpet has been torn out-
Bare.
But all the time
I have been strong
and reaching for the sky
and turning corners
and sometimes in no light
In the dark
So don’t be disappointed if you get bored.
don’t you sit out
Don’t fall
it will get easier
Just Never Give Up
