Then you need to get out of your mom's basement and get up into real life, it is a cold cruel world out there, and most folks are gonna feel like they don't owe you a livin'.

Fabulous advice and song.  Hot Damn!

I was going to use 2LiveCrew, but since this is a poetry thread, I figured this would blend better.    M

I believe you were replying to post 97 in Value of Poetry located at http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=3562508

What you wrote suggests some limited understanding of logic. Notice how poetry is often wordy. This is, however, called missing the forrest for the trees. Your understanding of both logic and poetry seems to me to be of the sort frequently possessed by adolescents. I will elaborate further in Is Love Inconvenient?

quote:


The protagonists of the Song of Songs are a woman (identified in one verse as "the Shulamite")[3] and a man, and the poem suggests movement from courtship to consummation. For instance, the man proclaims: "As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters." The woman answers: "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste."[4][5] Additionally, the Song includes a chorus, the "daughters of Jerusalem."

In spite of the lack of explicitly religious content, the Song is often interpreted as an allegorical representation of the relationship of God and Israel, or for Christians, God and the Church or Christ and the human soul, as husband and wife.
