Idolized and Vilified
Blood of the Mother's side.
Grandfather to I,
father of my Aunty.
Held in a high regard
for being a
pedophiliac
incestuous fuck.
His deep, dirty secret
and my Auntie's greatest pain.
Such betrayal
and sickening deeds,
he was not a good man.
He never fucking was
don't you go and tell me
what he supposedly done.
Death eventually met him
at the age of 83.
Died of cancer
as painful as could be.
Death wasn't pleasent
that's some justice right there
for my stoic of an Aunty.
She felt sickened at his funeral speech.
All of these people
honouring a man
that deserved a thousand deaths
for a pedophile.
And a Rape
he commited,
that we have glorified.
Unknowningly mourning a monster.

The saying goes, never speak ill of the dead, but sometimes it is really hard not too isn't it,
"honoring a man that deserved a thousand deaths",
but who will honor his victims, well written....Cassie

I've wanted to speak for so long, but that isn't my choice to make.
Thanks for your comments mate.

Heartfelt, emotional & powerful write, Evan. The father/grandfather is supposed to be a wise, kindly role model in the family. A "pedophile/rapist/monster" status would be hard for any family member to deal with. Let alone the poor victim of a devious personality. Thank you for sharing this well-written poem!

Hmm... that is a seriously unfortunate situation that would definitely cause some confusing feelings for those who knew.
Your tone of voice was consistent throughout the poem and although I don't often find a use for swear words, yours worked well here to create the tone for the poem.
There could be more commas in a few places just to guide the reader through some of the short phrases though. Unless you meant to leave them hanging a bit in which case it works somewhat.
Thanks for sharing this. It's another one of those things we don't really think about that needs to be put out there.

You're more than welcome, and thank you for that finer detail, I'll give it another re-run, I suppose. Thank you, Shelley.

Powerful, the sentence construction had me playing out the visuals inside of my head. I felt as if I was there, behind your Aunt at his funeral, I could feel the tightening of her stomach as mourners mourned & she coldly looked on, as the carcass of this beast was buried in the ground.

Thanks for your time, Kexby.

Sometimes you just gotta let it all out! And unfortunately, you can't choose your own relatives, but the best healing from a instance like this, Evan, is for you, yourself, to become the man your Grandfather never was and should have been. All things happen for a reason, and that which does not destroy you, makes you stronger. The good can be found in all situations, even the bad ones, if you look hard enough or from a different perspective, though sometimes it isn't readily apparent, or becomes clear, down the road in life a bit. Good write, and cheers to you for being a survivor, Young Sir!

Too right Madame.. yeah, we can't choose our family, but at least we can choose our friends, and really, I consider friends as family, especially those I hold close and have given my unwavering loyalty to, thanks for your generous comments, :-)
