Born in America Raised half a world away
Half way between Athens and New York
In between Dublin and Miami
I am an America Irish Greek
Grandson of greek immigrants
great grandson of irish immigrants
fully americanized
I am the decedent of the greatest thinkers of the Ancient world
I am the decedent of the greatest warriors of the Ancient world
I am the decedent of the greatest drinkers of the modern world
the blood of hercules runs in my veins.
The conjoining of two great culture in one new york boy
Born in America raised half a world away
Very good poem that really details your heritage.
ReplyDeleteI love the repetition of the phrase, "I am a descendant of....." and the humor about the greatest drinkers of the modern world (although you are stereotyping this ethnic group).
ReplyDeletePlease fix all the errors you made in your spelling and capitalization. You aren't e.e.cummings who chooses not to capitalize anything..heehee...
