Love this poem,basically he;s saying humanity is full of fuc-ers who are
more interested in peoples status and front than who they are internally
"Whose soul dangles from his watch chain".
He says we possess a bit of morality admist all the crap things we do but
mostly in the end he is resigned to us being blind to "importance of
life",to what life is,we are continually forgeting it's there like lost car
keys.

"E.E. Cummings is a heavy user of sarcasm and personification in his
poetry. He follows very closely the guidelines of modernistic imagism,
covering his true and honest feelings only with a thin layer of sarcasm,
still making his true point strongly felt by the reader. And at the end of
this poem, Cummings even ceases use of that and just comes straight out and
makes his point flat out. Another strong element present here is his use of
personification, evident throughout the poem. Not only does he use
personification as the overall picture of humanity, but he also uses this
personification along with material metaphors to emphasize upon the selfish
nature of humanity."
this is the introduction to my research paper on his poem. SUGGESTIONS,
TIPS, CRITICISM WELCOMED AND ENCOURAGED!!!!!!

1st off laura, baby, disgust... dusgust... secondly you should adopt
stupid's name. working on a term paper, Cummings is my favorite poet. I
love poetry and am said to be good at it, finding sites with expert
criticism though is not my strong point. I need some quotable (citable
rather) sources for the criticism section of my paper, any ideas? I need
people who are intelligent enough to realize the obvious sarcasm/ be able
to securely and acurately analyze poetry.

i chose this poem for a project for my highschool poetry unit. like many
of the poems cummings wrote, this one is satirical and has a sarcastic tone
to it. this makes it effective, like people had said in the above
comments. It was really helpful for me to understand the poem more, now
that i have heard other people's perspectives. Thanks for all the help.

I believe that this the sarcasm that is used in this poem is social
commentary on humanity. When e.e. cummings uses the phrase "humanity i love
you" it is just sarcasm and at the end of the poem when it says "i hate
you" it is the speaker's real feelings coming out not covered by a thin
film of sarcasm.
