The Love For Life

Gwendolyn brooks poem about abortion is beautiful and meaningful, the way that she describes the feelings related with this type of action. She describes vividly how the baby cries or looks for food all the way to planning and experiencing things later in life, and that all of these things the child will never experience. Her poem is incredibly honest and open. It would seem almost like an addmission of guilt for doing something were this girl had no choice, maybe due to circumstances out of her control. She explains that even though the baby is taken out before it is fully grown, that she still felt a deep connection even though she never met the baby. Alone, by Maya Angelou, is a poem about the needs that everyone has. That even though we feel that we are on this earth just for ourselves, we can't forget that the reason that we are able to do what we do is because of the people around us, and the people that were before us that made the mistakes that we don't have to make. She explains that a rich man has a heart of stone, because he spends all of his time creating wealth, while his family suffers. Explaining that in this life we have to lean on each other. Rosario Castellanos poem called Destiny, is a beautiful poem about the way that people react when they love something. That people draw all the energy out of this thing until there is nothing left. That by loving something is to dominate and eventually kill it, so that you devour that love. In life today you see this all the time in the way that people react in some relationships. They feel that just because they declare their love for someone, that they have the right to be abusive to thing they that their supposed to love.
