A Clockwork Orange

Unlike most public officials and media personalities would like you to believe, there is definite value in violence- in the unpleasant and even repulsive. I really loved TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT DISMEMBERMENT for that very reason. While it was not sweet nor soft I appreciate the realism of it. Ultra-violence is a part of the human sole, and while often it is subdued and only comes out in the most socially inept and psychotic there are animalistic urges in every human being that are buried deep beneath centuries of acculturation, socialization, evolution, and ethical morality. It is important that we recognize this as humans, because with recognition it can be controlled, virtually stopped.

Because it is so unusual it is poignant, corporeal language that creates a vivid image in the mind of the reader. This poem is not defined by its rhyme structure, but rather by its content, which is how any type of art should be reviewed. While the purpose of A Clockwork Orange and TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT DISMEMBERMENT have different purposes, the delivery remains the same, and that while the meaning is powerful, the ability for it to be quickly and completely be transferred from the medium to the mind is what accentuates the purpose. This is how poetry should be- raw and vigorous. The fasted way to reach point A from point B is a straight line. Do not waste time with schemes, use every word to it's fullest potential.
