And They Obey I chose the poem "And They Obey" by Carl Sandburg. The poem is addressing the human dualities that we have. Since thousands of years ago we have had the ability to destroy but were also blessed with the ability to create. After the first couple of thousand years passed we became more civalized in the eyes of society, but with this came the ability of mass destruction. and mass creation. Since there has been war, upon war, upon war, people killing people and people killing off plants and animals. In this present day and age we have a greater system of government and more control over society. There are still murders, wars, and endangered plants and animals. There is even greater ability for mass destruction and creations. The diffeence among the ages of our "evolution" is when we were uncivilized and scattered we destroued and created when it was nessesary, then it turned into when we wanted something or over petty differences, now we destroy when we are told to because of a difference in beliefs. We will destroy when we are told and then we turn around and create and rebuild what we have destroyed. So as you see we are the they in the poem and we will obey.
