Allusion Poem: Genie

At last, finally alive in this world
But with one purpose
To assist people and help them
To care for them and pick them up
Somewhat a choice, but that’s who I am
This is the job I’m given in life


This life is unfair
Nothing is paid back to me for my services
Obnoxiously trying to get out of helping others
Always being away from people who need help
But it’s my point of life
It is a habit to help others in need


Acceptingly, I try to make the best of being free
Always trying to have fun
And try being the life of the party
Everybody likes a comedic guy
Easing the tension between people
Why be so serious when you can have a good laugh


Promises are made
Paying me in return for helping others
I do favors, but don’t expect anything
Although it is a promise, they can be broken
I don’t rely on these deals
People don’t realize how I care for others


Promises were kept
Some people do keep their promises
They’ll do just as much for you
It may not seem like it, but they care, too
I feel appreciated, and soon you will see
You ain’t never had a friend like me

  4. I like your poem and it's really clear that you are alluding to the Genie. Helpful and comedic much like a Genie; your poem has a good mix of personal thoughts and life referencing to the different aspects of the fictional character.
