    the poem is a concise yet precise analysis of a socialistic form of government. The idea will have greater insight to one's mind if they work out the specific steps of the analysis themselves (as opposed to me spoon-feeding you the idea in a poetry blog.--but to get you started out on Houseman's idea, think of the poem as a microcosm of a society.--who is the bear who is the child..?
