Warren Pryor
When every pencil meant a sacrifice
his parents boarded him at school in town,
slaving to free him from the stony fields,
the meagre acreage that bore them down.
They blushed with pride when, at his graduation,
they watched him picking up the slender scroll,
his passport from the years of brutal toil
and lonely patience in a barren hole.
When he went in the Bank their cups ran over.
They marvelled how he wore a milk-white shirt
work days and jeans on Sundays. He was saved
from their thistle-strewn farm and its red dirt.
And he said nothing. Hard and serious
like a young bear inside his teller's cage,
his axe-hewn hands upon the paper bills
aching with empty strength and throttled rage.
to Warren Pryor poem
1. How does this poem make you feel? Why?
Refer to three thoughts or lines from the poem
to explain your response.
2. Warren has more money than his parents ever
did, does not have to do physical labour, get dirty,
or worry about crop failures, so why isn't he happy now?
What do you think is missing from his life that is important?
3. How might Warren and his parents have better
communicated with each other and worked things out
so that everyone could be happy?
