I think it shows how we can describe so well what we see, and forget that
we belong in the picture. Discusted at what is below us, yet forgetting
that we arent much higher, and that no one is better. i like this poem
alot.

I think that what this poem is trying to say is we don't need to go so far
to see hell. Everyone everywhere is living in sin but we just don't want to
see it.

This poem shows how man thinks he can sit out of sin and is sinless. But we
are not sinless a we think we are as our "brothers" and "comrades" call to
us.
