"Unanimity Has Been Achieved, not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness," by Bob Kaufman, represents the urban poor’s social problems. Kaufman often starts his stanzas with ‘I’ with which he wants to refer the problems of them as personal and to the readers. In need to awaken to the injustice prevailing in society, in his own words states that "extravagant moments of a shock of unrehearsed curiosity," he wants his readers to move themselves from their apathy. The use of ‘I’ refers as if he is conveying from his own personal experiences.
“I can remember four times when I was not crying & once when I was not laughing.
I am kneaded by a million black fingers & nothing about me
improves.”
Kaufman not only addresses those injustices but condemns them. He urges his readers to reject all the social norms that construct society and results in poverty.
Also through the use of the first person, he strives to call for equality in the society.
"They...<span>think that there is nothing more inglorious than that glory that is gained by war"
This quotation sums up the main idea because it not only reinforces to the reader that they are against war, but it gives some insight into why they are against war. The people think that there is no glory to be gained in war, so they choose to just prepare a defensive army, never an offensive one. </span>
