Analysis of To mitigate the suffering.



To mitigate the suffering.

If the earth is an anvil,
we are hammering by the sun in a furnace,
getting shape and becoming harder.

When the sun is hot and rigid
and whips on the back of the earth.
we endure it like slave labour.

If the sun is a oven,
we are being fried
on the earth,like frying saucer.

I want rain,you come to us
and smear balm on our scars,
to comfort the sufferer.
