[stylist] Your Take

[Joe Orozco]

Wow, I'm intrigued with everyone's interpretations.  They're far more
sophisticated than my own.  For whatever it's worth, my view was that the
poem reminds us that history, despite all its atrocities, is doomed to
repeat itself over and over, but that there are always silver-tongued
bystanders who are all too willing to sell us the promise that this time
things really will be different.  See?  Unsophisticated and completely
wrong, but maybe I'm trying too hard to fit it into a public relations lens.

Best,

Joe
