The poem A Song to the Men of England is important to me because of its cry for men and women to stand up and not take being oppressed. This poem encourages men to take a stand and fight against the forces that try and keep them down, or take what they work for. I enjoy things along these lines because of the encouragement it gives people. With this a movement could even possibly be started because it causes people to feel their chains and want to fight them off. To me nothing in this world is worse then when a people is oppressed and losses the inhabitation to fight off the chains and shackles that the over lord power has on the oppressed people. When it comes to inspiration for the underdogs, I will always have a soft spot in my heart like most people would, but for some reason this poem slightly spoke to me. Also, this poem has importance to me because of the power it has and the emotion that it fills you with. This poem fills you with the passion and power to stand up for yourself and take back what the majority has taken from you, and that's what poetry is supposed to do. Poetry is to fill you with a multitude of feelings from depression, to anger, to even pure joy. If it isn't able to do such it really isn't a good or an "important piece of poetry. Then again I could be completely wrong and be over analyzing everything in this poem, but that is yet another great beauty with the ageless art.
