Ma Babay / cubone's mom explication

i was lucky to find this poem, im lucky to find all my poems actually, you'd be surprised how many bad poems about pokémon there are. anyways i thoroughly enjoyed cubone's mother, for all of you who played some of the original pokémon games or leaf green/fire red you know what this relates to, when you have to beat team rocket in lavender town to put marowak to rest. aaanyways this poem is an allusion to that and i feel it portrays that situation perfectly. but it also shows the other side, how cubone felt about his mom which is really cute. the rhyme scheme is AABB CCDD etc. even though the rhymes aren't complicated i think its nice that the author simplified the poem to really get the key ideas across to the reader. the symbolic meaning of wearing marowak's skull in the poem is really powerful and really resonates with me. the last 4 lines are also very powerful, they represent the sacrifice made by cubone's mother to save him, something everyone can relate with, another real life situation that pokémon can help us understand. again, credit to leadermarine from Pokélyrics, wish i knew who you were.
