Answer:

SUMMARY OF THE POEM:

I SPEAK FOR THE BUSH BY EVERETT STANDA.

I speak for the bush is a poem by Everett Standa which attacks the uncivilized life of the urban areas and adoption of western culture in an ironical way. The persona is a person from the rural areas who visits a friend living in the city. The major concern is the immoral and miserable life that is led by people living in the city. The ignorance of the people living in the city is also noted in that they think that they are living in a “civilized world”. Immorality runs rampant un the city. The poem tells us that, “like nuns we stay away from the nightclubs, where women belong to no men and men belong to no women”. In stanza four, we are told men talk about money and not love when they meet women. People in the city lead miserable lives. Stanza two illustrates this: “but my friend why do men, with crippled legs, lifeless eyes, wooden legs, empty stomachs wander about the streets of this civilized world.” People sleep hungry and wander the streets because they do not have a place to stay. Yet with all the misery, the city people are ignorant of their conditions and they think they the civilized ones. The persona’s friend swells when he sees him because he is from the bush and speaks of the moral life of the bush. Irony and satire have been widely used to criticize the urban life and to provoke the people in urban areas to see their misery. The author refers to the urban world as civilized yet he means the opposite and his opinion is geared towards supporting the rural life.
