when man determined to destroy
himself he picked the was
of shall and finding only why
smashed it into because
- e. e.
cummings
| This poem reflects Cummings's attitude towards humanities inevitable inability to avoid its own destruction. God chose to create life simply because he chose to, while humanity destroyed its innocence by searching for a reason for everything. We are unable to cope with something unless we know its cause. Thus we have inadvertently destroyed the gift of innocence that God gave us. |
