Mes deviors..

This is a homework assignment I did in English Honors. We had to model Carl Sandburg's "Chicago"...y'know, talk about a town we've lived in for a length of time. I chose the place I live in now. I hope you guys can understand it.


Lithia
Sheep-eared child of the house,
Adolescent of the shut mind, heart, and open senses,
Adult of an isolated high society's pinnacle,

Bustling, avaricious, yet stagnant

They tell me you are rich, and I believe them, for I watch as the plenty of paper become richer,
and the destitute of souls e'en more impoverished.

And they tell me you have e'erything, and I accept this; my words are, though, there are those who sing a different song, and here there is not even a single note for them.

And they tell me you are a fair, just land expanse, but I say to them: "On the faces of the deceived and the wronged, I have witnessed and borne the scars of persecution."

And, already fed them my truths, I recoil at those who brand anathema to my petite Gaian patch. To them, I say,"Come and show me a region with loving Artemis extends her scepter so felicitously to those who take upon her unsung rescues!

Distracted by their affairs that sing so silently in Chronus' fabrics...
Incomprehensive, unresponsive, more deceased to the world than a passed away grandfather clock who knew but one task....
Loathsome,
Conspiring,
Degenerate,
Abolishing,
Boastful,
Tumbling, Descending, Rising,
Beneath Zeus's sandals, cursing himself for treading on such an impurity,
Beside Poseidon's forgiving veins,
Beneath the skies where dreams shoot from heavens above,
Beside my hopes, still ever wavering,
Wading through the days, fatigued, so fatigued, wondering of they who are, are content to be.....
Sheep-eared child of the house,
Adolescent of the closed mind, heart, and open senses,
And adult of the isolated high society's pinnacle...

It'd be nice to have some comments.
