Look Within

I must say I loved this poem. Mckay really says we should look at ourselves before criticizing other countries or other areas. He relates it to America during WWII but this can also be taken on a small scale. "For setting up Fascist way of might While fifteen million Negroes on their needs" It's like here we are fighting the Fascist regime when back in America we are doing the same thing in a different way. We still had high discrimination at this in America. "We bathe our lies in vapors of sweet myrrh, and close our eyes not to perceive the fact!" Here it's like we cannot see the truth that we are corrupt here too and it's not just the countries in Europe and Japan. We do not see the true facts, just what we want to see.
