That poem was written from the perspective of a young boy. If it was written by zero, he was a victim and how he may have reflected this abuse in later behaviour and attitude is a sad result of something he would not have been able to defend himself against as a child. I prefer to see that as a tragedy, for which he would not be responsible.
All the same, I still doubt it came from his pen. It only resonates that way with people who still hold to the theory that Frank was his father, and that’s why the poem has the title ‘Pop’
The question needs to remain open imo. I just hope that if he did write it, ‘Pop’ wasn’t ‘gramps’ because that would indeed be horrible.
Yeah, I tried to figure out if his own gramps was molesting him, but the description sounds too much like Obama’s description of visits with Frank from the book. Some of the details of visits had to come from Obama and not ayers. Plus Frank was Very Loose morally especially sexually.
And remember so was ayers, proud to have slept with all genders and races.
I believe the poem was written from the perspective of a teen boy. While Frank started mentoring him earlier, Frank could have waited til the boy was past puberty before taking sexual advantage.
