Interior Vision Comments

This isa strong poem which confronts the hard truths of our lives in an often uncaring, selfish society. We can certainly fight against such injustice through political action, following Hamlet's TO TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST A SEA OF TROUBLES, But your poem offers a more immediate solution, that is, the Interior Life. Your poem is wise, it doesn't make the Interior Life a paradise. It's rather a place of refuge, and how we benefit from this asylum is another choice. There is a prayer-like quality in the closing stanzas which brings peace and calm to the troubled mind of the speaker and to that of the reader who has read the poem with sympathy and understanding. I humbly place myself in that group of readers.
