The mood of this poem is pain & hurt. The city is significant to the world and it consists of people who pretends that their on the same page with you or their your friend when they're really not. You have to be brave to face obstacles in life and be strong as people may get you down. The maize is significant to life,with torture and pain . You have to live it to the best of your ability and at the end of the day when you feel like giving up or breaking down,all that feeling is still left within you.
