Summary of the poem " Cold Within "
There was a group of six people who met by chance and were trapped in a cold and bleak weather .
Each one had a piece of log of wood in their hand and they had a dying fire in front.
Anyone , if would have gave the log to the fire , then they would have saved the fire and could have survived the weather .
However their hearts were cold and they showed lack of human feeling to one another.
The first woman refused to give the log because she had racial bias and noticed a black face in the group.
The second man saw no one from his Church.
The third man was poor and he did not want to serve the rich.
The rich thought not to offer the log for the idle poor.
The fifth man was black and he wanted to take revenge on the white.
The sixth man did not give unless he has been given too .
These group completely were dominated by their prejudices and they had a cold heart.
It was this coldness that resulted in their death rather than the cold weather .
We should remember " Love thy neighbor as thyself ".
