"The phrase 'weighed-down head' doesn't refer to being dizzy with a headache"
Explanation:
In this poem, Spender portray the injustice which overcomes in society. He talks of social unfairness and class inequalities, denial of opportunities to slum dwellers, and also expresses his thoughts on the boosting gap between the rich and the poor. He somewhere or the other seems to be striking hard at the capitalist economy, which helps the rich to get richer and the poor poorer.
The Civil Rights Movement in America had gained pace and Spender’s poem supports it when he reveals the condition of the ‘haves’ and the ‘have notes’. The poem logically brings forth the miserable condition of the children of the slum and the inadequate educational facilities provided to them. The poem talks of racial discrimination and is a socialist proclamation that a country can prosper only if education reaches to the oppressed in the society.
