a man wonders why like a cage a single meaning is trapped to a symbol of many faces like moonshine being time for a romance for it is also when the predators hunt, a man wonders why like a fox the world is written and like a rabbit we fall for its snares people ignore to see our symbol of peace murdering a wee lil worm, how is it a prison is meant to keep things locked inside when its actually keeping people out of our reach how religion breaks war and love fosters hate why are we blinded like bats and why are we deafer than snakes.

by showing forth even the poets blindness to his own usage of symbolism as he uses similes and metaphors to show there are no such things proves the theme of the poem as a paradox and self-contradictory piece
