feeling angry

Anger

Why do we feel angry, a hot burning flame

    Swallowing us, yet we feel no pain?                          

We yearn to be happy, though our hearts disagree,

     Why do you take them, burn them, swallow their minds?

Why? Why don’t you, why don’t you swallow misery?

What does it mean to me? Literature exists between the book and the reader. The meanings of symbols and stories change based on who is reading them, their experiences, their histories. Literature and other art involves the audience.  They use their political location (how they are situated geographically, racially, socioeconomically etc.) in how they understand the art.
