They Feed, They Lion...

They write a commentary on society. Levine poem (about the Detroit riots after further research) to me seems to be a commentary on the society of the day. He also appears to be warning his fellow man about what could happen if things continue the way they are. I find that writings after major catastrophic events are often filled with strong emotions, like rage and hatred. Levine keeps his emotions in check and writes an honest commentary in this piece.
