Me & Them Comments

IT'S SAD BUT TRUE. That's the motive behind this poem to express a hard truth to get it out in the open so that it does not gnaw away inside you. The poem has its own solution which is really extremme - withdrawal from the Life of a Neighborhood and living behind a fence. I think this is the AS IF aspect of a poem, that is, you can imagine a crazy idea within the the poem as an emotional release. And the first stanza has wonderful images of provocative behavior which would declare your independence and show those intrusive neighbors what you think of them. B-U-T after the liberation achieved through words and poetry, you must now face the reality of putting up with these people.

What I really want is to live out in the country somewhere with an immense green field and a towering fence between me, and them An excellent poem on human behavior and on innocent wishes by an innocent heart.Well done Keep it up 10/10
