Comparing Poems Essay

I'm comparing our poem "The Place Where We Are Right" to "Out Beyond Ideas". 

Bloodshed, hate, and violence are human beings' worst qualities. War and killing always seems to be the answer. If two countries are continually having problems with each other, most of the time it ends up in war. The way that these two poems are similar, is because they both involve wrong solutions, and the consequences of those solutions. 

The main idea in "The Place Where We Are Right" is how man fights and kills each other, and we build houses over our fallen foes. This is significant, because when immigrants first moved to America and took the land, they killed the Native Americans, and built houses over their dead bodies. The main idea in "Out Beyond Ideas" is that when we meet in the middle of a field of wrongdoing and right doing, ideas, language, and each other don't make sense. Everyone has to make certain decisions everyday that will impact their lives in various ways. Some decisions we regret, while others are some of the best we've made. How we make decisions everyday apply to ourselves and lives and shape them, whether they are right or wrong. 

The question become, how we deal with our  conflicts. While it seems easy to just go to war, it's not always the best decision. Millions and millions of lives have been lost in war, and our mentalilty is that lives goes on. It's time to unite. Humans all desire and want things, but working together is best suited for us. Compromise is key. We can't live in a world where everyone gets everything they want. That's why we need to meet somewhere in the middle, so everyone can be happy. The field beyond wrongdoings and right doing is the field that we need to meet, to stop war, bloodshed, and violence. Instead promote peace and love.
