Hermit crabs and cowry shells crush beneath his feet as he comes towards
you,
he's waving a shoe
Lift him up to see what you can see, as he begins his focusing,
he’s aiming at you.
And now he has, gutterways for memories and closeups of anything
that he has seen or even dreamed, and now he’s finished focusing.
He’s imagining lightening striking, sea sickness away from here.
Look who’s laughing now that you’ve wasted,
how many years and you’ve barely even tasted,
anything remotely close to everything you’ve boasted about.
Look who’s crying now.
Driftwood floats after years of erosion.
Incoming tide touches roots to expose them.
Quicksand steals my shoes.
Clouds bring the F-stop blues.
Look who’s laughing now that you’ve wasted,
how many years and you’ve barely even tasted,
anything remotely close to everything you’ve boasted about.
Look who’s crying now.
This song shows how messed up everything in Animal Farm got. They had great plans with great potential, but everything fell though. They bragged about their farm to animals and people from all over. They believed they were going to be the most successful farm ever because they worked for their own benefit. They would only have to take care of themselves, there would be no humans to take their eggs or milk.
As the novel progressed the animals slowly began to realize things weren't going as they had plans. They barely had enough food and they were being forced to work harder than ever before. Anything good immediately went for the pigs to use. They got the house to live in, beds to sleep in, the beer and the milk to drink. Of course the animals were aware of these in justices, but they overlooked them or were convinced by the pigs that it was better this way.
The animals fully grasped what had happened to the farm when they looked through the window of the house to see the pigs and the humans playing cards together. At this moment they couldn't tell the difference between the two. They realized that everything Animal Farm represented was gone and that they were left in a worse situation then before.
