There never was a nicer boy
Than Mrs. Jackson's Jim.
The sun should drop its greatest gold
On him.
Because, when Mother-dear was sick,
He brought her cocoa in,
And brought her broth, and brought her bread.
And brought her medicine.
And, tipping, tidied up her room.
And would not let her see
He missed the game of Baseball
Terribly.

I don't think there is any important symbolism in this poem - it is a straightforward contemplation of what it means to a woman to have an abortion. Gwendolyn Brooks sums up the idea of the poem in her line: 'abortions will not let you forget'. You could call it symbolism when she speaks of the memory of her aborted children as being 'dim' (they are dim because she only half-remembers them) - but I would say that this description is as literally true as language ever is. A poem doesn't need to have symbols - many of the best ones don't.
The Mystery Remains a Mystery.. As The Sun Sets it describe's the Life As to how we Hve a quite shiny and Nice Evening when It Then Changes Into Sadness Not Always But
"The Bean-Eaters" by Gwendolyn Brooks is about an elderly couple and the lifestyle they live. It is written in the contemporary or modern style, meaning that it lacks literary devices and uses plain simple speech to deliver its message. The poem does not actually describe the couple's lifestyle but explains it through the plain food, dinnerware, the couples tired reminisces, and even the language used by Brooks.
The poem seems like it is about someone trying to find a safe place in the hectic world. Seeing as to how her poems are about black oppression before, i'd guess its about a African American trying to escape the torture whites had put them through.
