Analysis Poem by RIC BASTASA

'The work of the poet comes
to meet the spiritual need
of the society in which he lives,
and for this reason
his work means more to him
than his personal fate,
whether he is aware of this or not. '

' El trabajo del poeta viene resolver la necesidad espiritual de la sociedad en que vive,
y por esta razón su trabajo significa más para él que su propio destino lo sepa o no. '

Carl Jung

so this is it
my soul
not my soul
my body
is not my
body
in this literariness
of things
i am but another
slave
creature of
my society.
