Thatâs a good explanation of your position â that I said things I believe to be untrue in order to jar people. Thatâs still a long way from saying "offensive untrue things about people." Since the poem is about a hypothetical man as far as anyone reading it on poemranker knows, it should only be offensive if he sees within himself a bitter core. Then he might be jarred into saying itâs not true. If so, my purpose is partly accomplished.
