A blood thin and clear and fine

While in the veins of the always poor

And in the veins

Of the new-rich men

Flowed a blood thick as gruel

And muddy as a ditch.

The poet’s criticism of class distinctions is revealed in the above lines as she states that the blood of the poor is thin, clear and fine which implies that there exist selfless and genuine love in the poor section of society but in the higher or the richer section of society the love of more inclined toward material aspect and the genuine love and affection is usually missing. The relationships are governed by profit and loss concepts.
