Comparative Analysis: Human Being to a Bird
SUSTENANCE
THE BIRD STAYS CLOSE TO THE NEST UNTIL HE LEARNS TO FLY
WE STAY CLOSE TO OUR MOMMIES BREAST UNTIL WE LEARN TO SUSTAIN
BIRD FLY,
BIRD SUPPLY,
WE WORK,
WE SAVE,
THE BIRD DASHES DANGEROUSLY, DODGING HOT STEEL, TO GET THAT PIECE OF FOOD
WE COMPETE, WE COPE, WE ENDURE HARDSHIP, STRESS TO MAINTAIN A STANDARD
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
