Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
In the given poem, "the cold within", experiences are shared about how treated people in a discriminatory way will end the world. It will mean injustice and unfair actions are prevailing which harms the society.
How is this all proven?
The entire poem is a connotation of how 6 people are surrounded by cold and each have a stick but none of the people want to sacrifice their wooden sticks to help let the fire burn. They want that they should live but are not willing to give life to others. One of them is poor, he does not want the rich to live, there is a rich man who does not want the poor to live, there is a black man fighting against a white supremacist, there is a selfish man in the group too. Just like this the fire dies and they all end.
Similarly, such strong prejudices about people, about one another will lead to a common end.
The strong prejudice leads to destruction:
Poem 'The cold within', is a poem about the conscious and sub-conscious attributes of the human kind. He describes how people have a hatred towards each other on the financial grounds.
Not only the financial grounds, but sometimes these discrimination are on the racial grounds and also sometimes the social grounds. This attitude of prejudice amongst the humankind leads to mutual destruction and proves antagonistic to both the parties in the long run.
