You Call Them Friends?

I really like the way the pace of this poem is picked up with the questions then slowed again. Also a lot of ideas were packed in and came across without over elaboration. It assumes the intelligence of the reader.

The tone of this poem is that of someone crying out for society, and I agree with spoonman, that society isn't possible. It's a good dream however, and something I enjoyed reading.

I pretty much agree with the general tone of this poem. Realistically, though, we live in a capitalistic society that preaches individualism, so it isn't really plausible for people to care about eachother the least bit altruistically under such influences. It's America and it'll be like this as long as money is glorified. If only more people would take note of the saying, "Money can't buy happiness." It's so true if you just look at all the shallow rock stars who commit suicide.

Delivered well, I wish it were longer. Though the message in this poem will never be heeded by most of the population it is could for people to speak for such a society. I agree with you. We can always hope.
