Analysis of For I have never seen

Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)



A hat without a head?
 That does not make since?
A teacher without her students?
 Schools are not created like that!
A baby without any parents!
 Absurd!
Life's not like that!
 Everything is as it should be!
In the end the good prevail!
 When we get along everyone wins!
Working together we will achieve anything!
 To maintain is to stay focused!
Loving yourself should come first!
 That is one of life's gifts!
A friend is a friend indeed!
 You may count on a true one in the end!
Positive minds bring positive change!
 Infinitely united we stand!
Who else could continue humanity but humanity?
