Sorry
Flanders fields was a rondeau about war, written by a soldier. Its an interesting poem because it kind of switches back and fourth between a beautiful scene of poppies in a field, to people dying in combat. The mood was kind of gloomy, made me a little sad that the nicer things in life couldn’t be appreciated because of war going on around it.
We wear the mask was another saddening one, its whole focus is how people cant escape wearing the mask, and how horrible humans are for each-other. And its historical context really makes sense, because while some fought out to try and solve problems with discrimination, some hid their pain under masks to get where the got to.
Change starts within. No leopards spots
Can change outside, nor change the plots.
Try as you will, it must be pure.
Its your choice, it will not allure.
Changing is hard, it will cause knots
We are destined to fall, fall lots.
More if something we want just rots.
We see the wrong, we know the cure
Change starts within
Don’t believe me, take all your shots.
Its bound to creep into your thoughts.
Even when you think your secure.
Even something so so obscure.
Its back like deafening gunshots
Change starts within
