RE: # CONDEMNED [DAY 56]

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)

Hello friend @adebayopaul, fulfilling the requirement of the Challenge, step to try to interpret the poem.

The poetic voice poses a depressive phase in which he feels the abandonment of everything that is important to him. The whole poem is a call to attention, a plea for love and interest for oneself. He feels "condemned", as the title suggests, due to the bad situation in which he has fallen, but far from finding answers, he tells us that everyone turns his back on him.
Seen, stanza by stanza, the fall is described and it is seen as the "bad". These lines reflect it :

Evil lurks like a rat.

In the second verse, ask for a new opportunity to begin:> I wish I could start over. A slate that is completely new.
The third stanza reveals his true intention, the return to his known life, to the good and happy yesterday:

Please return my happiness

The claim occurs in the fourth stanza, the evidence of the disaster turned into abandonment:

My friends who say everything. It seems that he is escaping.

The fifth and the sixth stanza, slide the same idea, but the word hope, only that it refers to a good that depends on others, the same that has been submerged in the existential chaos that is to live.
The full awareness of chaos and despair
It expands in the last verse where it warns that there is no way and is only a nuisance for others who do not understand their level of depression, to the point of preventing there is no way out of their situation:

I know I'm upset, but I hope not for a long time,

The admission of total defeat, with the only hope that it will not be long.

Sort:  

Most of what you said are true but the last verse was actually a last ditch effort to redeem the abandoned soul. Why not make your final conclusion in the part 2 of the poetrt
