A.E. Housman - The Grizzly Bear

The Grizzly Bear is huge and wild
It has devoured the little child.
The little child is unaware
It has been eaten by the bear.

the poem is a concise yet precise analysis of a socialistic form of government. The idea will have greater insight to one's mind if they work out the specific steps of the analysis themselves (as opposed to me spoon-feeding you the idea in a poetry blog.--but to get you started out on Houseman's idea, think of the poem as a microcosm of a society.--who is the bear who is the child..?
