    my poem - 'human rights'
    Please check out my poem;

    Palm trees are justice. Apple trees are hatred. Plums, plums plums

    It does have meaning, although it appears nonsensical at first glance - find the deeper message!

    Understand the metaphors. Embrace the juxtapositions. All in one semantic field.

    I got an e for eng lit, so don't expect too much understanding..

    does it have anything to do with religion (apple tree)??

    Let me think...

    Palm trees. Leaves, growth, value, aspiration,height. Ah I see where you're going. Palm trees are justice on the basis that their leaves all are raised on the same platform. They are regarded as equals. Justice. But palm trees aren't often seen.

    Apple trees. Apples. One kind of fruit. Segregation breeds ignorance. Ignorance can lead to illogical hatred of the others..

    Plums, plums, plums. Hmm. Plums tend to be purple, purple symbolises passion, nobility, royalty, ambition, power. I see where you are going, you're commenting on the injustice of the spread of wealth in the world. How concentrated wealth is, when It could just be shared. Your use of repetition signifies the nepotism that still exists in society- ("helping your own," with reference to plums), oligarchy, the power still remains in the small number of people that have been favoured regardless of their merit.

    Where is the equality?

    Ah, you poetic genius.

    He said find the deeper meaning? I assume there was meaning.
    Maybe!

    That's not a poem, that's a riddle.

    This never gets old, and seems appropriate.

    Haha, good ol' GCSE English. Although sometimes, the text have deeper meanings.

    Why are the circles overlapping?

    Surely a deep analytical thinker such as yourself can figure that out?

    Perhaps a deep analytical thinker like herself simply means that there is no overlap whatsoever and so the Venn diagram is wrong?

    I hold out hope she will come up with a third option, an option that will blow our minds.
