Defend the Poet

Born like this
Into this

     This opening phrase describe the author’s feelings in five words, there’s bound to be nothing positive after them.  While at first it would seem simple to agree with the poet, one can’t help but support the morality of humanity while reading this.  As people in our society cannot see the horrors that this poem describes, it is too easy to just assume that people are better than that. 

     However, just because we can’t see this does not mean it doesn’t happen.  We can take the smaller things the poem says, and assume the larger things are true as well.  “Into hospitals which are so expensive that it’s cheaper to die” and “Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes” are far more relatable for people like us than the future predictions of the poet.  We may not see the reincarnation of Dante’s Inferno in everyday life, because people only see what they want to see, and what that is is the beauty of life. 

     Regardless of how one lives their life, one is bound to encounter sadness, suffering.  Regardless of class, people see these things.  Though it may be in different degrees, everything is relatable despite things that will be soon insignificant. 

“And there will be the most beautiful silence never heard.”
