Hi friend,
The ideas conveyed in the poem- "The cold within" apply totally to today's situation.
The poem deals with the futility of hatred or discrimination based on race,class and religion. The discrimination, racism and bigotry proves futile as none of the six people survive by the end.
The six men in the poem can be seen as representative of the whole human race. In today's world also, there is rampant discrimination between the rich and the poor, the black and the white, all guided by animosity towards each other. When the white man practices racism, the black man's face is filled with revenge. The rich consider the poor as lazy shiftless i.e. lacking any ambition and energy; the poor on the other hand think of the rich as unworthy.
I have had also experiences related to this. I have seen how people discriminate one from other. This is totally futile and I think that it should be stopped.
Hope it helps!
