Reflection # 7 Order in the Streets
This is a poem from Donald Justice and its kind of cool. In it you can see what is happening nowadays. On the TV we see news that give us a great example. Dead youth on the streets gun killed by persons driving cars. The poems tells us how people is dying now days ... a car passes in front of the people they don't like then they manage to open a window or take out the hand with the gun and starts shooting to the others. And those killers go to their home or cribs without regrets. If you notice it has a numeration 1 2 3 and it also has only 3 dots and the forth its not counted because its the representation of the end of the problem or riot. The first one is the pause when the person maybe when the person takes off the lock on the gun. The second one is the pause that represent how the car stops on the street and takes of the hood. And the third one is the representation of death (dead body on the floor because of the shoot).
This is the poem so you can understand what I'm saying.
Order in the Streets
1. 2. 3.
Switch on.
Jeeps rushes
to the scene
of riot
Jeeps goes in all directions
by mystery action.
Jeep stop periodically
to turn hood over
machine gun appears
with realistic
shooting noise.
After putting down riot,
jeep goes
back to the headquarters.

Personally, I have a different but very similar opinion about this poem. In my case, my opinion is that the jeep is not representing a criminal who kills someone in a car to car situation, but that the Jeep represents the way that the government is attacking the criminality problem in our society. As I said in my blog, the Jeep is considered as one of the more versatile vehicle creatd to transport soldiers to the battle camp, that's the reason that I think that in this poem, this vehicle is representing law enforcement and not criminality. Perhaps our opinions are basically about the criminality in our society, definitely we have differents opinions on this poem.
