Are you serious about the forced fiction part? I thought from the comments and the title that you'd know that it was a completely true story- nothing's been added, seriously (though I did leave out the part where the snow melt leaked into her boot and I had to carry her 50 pound self around for an hour while she complained about being cold).
You (or one of your personas) liked the other memoir about my daughter that I put on here, a while back, the story about the drunken harmonica player on the city bus. This poem isn't about a guilt trip, it is about me appreciating my daughter, and I believe that some other people appreciated hearing about her innocence. It is not about a guilt trip, I march based on my conscience- and my conscience covers a lot. Name a more important thing and I promise, if it appealed to my conscience the way it did yours, I was there marching, or going door to door educating, or doing whatever I could do about it (barring monetary contributions). Thanks for your bold comments, if it weren't for your complaints, I wouldn't have known this ever made it in the top 20, though I totally agree with the reason it is(temporarily) #1, people are afraid to give it a low vote, even though their votes are anonymous, because they don't want to seem prejudiced or racist. But I know it is neither best on poemranker or my best work, in case you thought I'd get a big head over it.
