RE: Prose Poem: The Hungry Ones

in #poetry7 years ago

For me, in my first read, this is a look at the timeless battle between man constructing our own controllable habitats, and our relationship with nature and the world.

It's as if all three presented here are struggling to find happiness in their different approaches: the first in searching for the horizon by dismantling; the second in building their haven; and the third in their aimless wandering of what the first two dedicated their lives to.

Learning that this piece reflected three different attitudes towards communism lent me a new light to the reading. As someone who has never been to areas of the world where communism was adopted at a national scale, I can't possibly fully comprehend the piece.

That said, I'm so grateful to have been given the chance to experience a bit of these three view through your writing, @vitkolesnik.

And that that last line, Vitaly, what a banger - it's so perfect!
What a way to finish this piece; a great read.

Thank you for the thoughtful comment!

The three attitudes to communism were:

  1. Oppose and reject, get tired of it.
  2. Accept or try building a "communism with a human face".
  3. Ignore and try to live a full life in the communist environment.

much appreciate the added insight, my friend.
