The way I meant “inoculate the soars with rhetorical cement”
is this is a poem about a man at a young age who hated what he saw.
the government. his dad a poor man sent to war lost a limb
and gets spit at on return, say the church who beats him
and in his eyes full of hypocrisy. so say you want to memorize
a number, 856, 856 , 856. you repeat it over and over.
as a child he is saying “I will never be like that”
over and over. and in that case which I meant it
the phrase works.

thanks for your insight.
