Blog of Walking Around

The walking around poem was the one of the weirdest poem i had ever seen .The first time i read it i took it literally. I didn’t understand the poem at all. I could have never figured out what was going on until my professor discussed it in class. There were so many things that you have to really associate the things in the poem to the life. For me, i think it requires determination and perseverance to fully understand the surrealist mind of the poet. Though the poem was deep it had sense in real life which never really is realized by most people. The life we lived in is built by man and it’s no surprise that mains also the one who is sacrificing for it. The truth in the poem should actually be realized by most people because i think that people just does not know how make their eyes open to the world that they live in .I myself have felt that paying taxes is the most idiotic thing that the government has done, sure they pay for their salary and the facilities but it seems that a government rune by business minded people are such a waste. The people in the government are full of crap. And I agree in the poem that all the things we wear are all but nothing but a disguised and formalities are just a way to see your good side not your true self. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a freedom of their own. I see people who do the simplest things in life like janitor, guard and wonder how are they able to endure and why are they the most looked down part in society. I feel that they should be appreciated by all and respect their doings. When have you seen that a person's objective is to be a janitor or a guard or servant? No one, and that shouldn’t be the case because their service are quite crucial in society .Though other countries give them high salary, it is here in the Philippines that i feel like no one appreciates these people. The poem in my opinion is an eye opener for people to change how everyone lives, even back then where kingdoms and dynasties rule over the public and has to make these authority powerful when in fact the public should be the one who is on top, i hope that someday a person is able to find a system in society where there is enough equality for everyone and freedom is still at the hands of the beholder.
