the grotesque visual imagery of “heads a ‘roll” connotes death and suffering, depicting those who oppose corrupt leaders being killed. This evokes disgust in me as I reflect on the importance of choosing the right people to place in power as choosing the wrong ones can result in suffering

the diction of “watch” suggests helplessness

the repetition of "tall" emphasises the great magnitude of peace in the end

the diction of "rats" conveys gullibility, showing that foolish people blindly and devotedly follow their leaders, doing whatever they tell them to do

the repetition of the ideas "mortal" and "man" highlights that this "man" that the speaker is referring to is a normal person. Also, the alliteration makes the "m" sound, which emphasises that the man is simply just a ordinary man

the high word intensity of “god” highlights absolute power and reinforces the idea of being in full control over everything. This causes me to reflect on the theme of leadership, and how a leader needs to hold himself to a higher standard than that of those around him, as he controls them too

the diction of “Marionettes” suggests powerlessness. This causes me to reflect on the theme of power and realise that someone with too much power can be a scary thing, as they have control over others, who have no choice but to obey

the repetition of "watch" emphasises the speaker's incapability to do anything as the man put in control begins to grow more and more powerful

the juxtaposition of “symphony of destruction" compares "symphony", which connotes beauty and harmony, and "destruction", which connotes suffering and loss, showing that doom is enjoyable

the diction of “pulse” connotes life

the repetition of “explodes” conveys violence

the juxtaposition of "earth starts to rumble" compares "earth", which connotes solidity and firmness, and "rumble", which connotes hollowness and instability, showing the presence of a powerful force

the juxtaposition of "world powers fall" compares "world powers", which is made of two high intensity words that connote intense control and capability, and "fall", which connotes failure and demotion, showing that there is a presence of a powerful force

the juxtaposition of "warring for the heavens" compares "warring", which is a high intensity word that connotes extreme violence and bloodshed, and "heavens", which connotes peace, rest and joy. this shows that one must fight hard to get peace. I reflect on the theme of war, and I learn that sometimes fighting is necessary, when it is against evil

the diction of "peaceful" connotes calmness and quiet, illustrating a turning point where the fighting stops

the visual imagery of "stands tall" depicts the "peaceful man" as preeminent and superior, a representation of those who were fighting for peace eventually winning, causing all the violence to finally end. I feel happy for them, as I reflect on the theme of peace as I learn to appreciate peace and not to take it for granted

the diction of "take" connotes that the speaker has control of the "mortal man"

the diction of "pied piper" connotes control and influence, as the pied piper was a character that lured and controlled rats by playing his pipe. this draws a parallel with someone in power using their charisma to charm people into doing what they want

the gruesome imagery of “head explodes” depicts the human likeness of corrupt leaders being rapidly and violently destroyed, causing them to lose their emotions and morals

the diction of “corrodes” connotes destruction and corruption. From this, I observe the theme of corruption of power, as I learn the importance of honest and good leaders

the visual imagery of “dance” connotes joy and celebration

the diction of “robot” connotes apathy and coldness. This causes me to reflect on the theme of selfishness, as this quote illustrates corrupt leaders acting inhumanely to selfishly maintain or to grow their power

the oxymoron of "metal brain" is a contradiction, as "metal" connotes coldness and lifelessness, while "brain" connotes life and feelings. I can infer from this that the human emotions of corrupted leaders turned into that of apathy and uncaring

the repetition of “A ‘roll” emphasises cruelty and inhumanity

the diction of “control” suggests power and authority

The visual imagery of "filled" ironically connotes the emptiness that the speaker feels, regarding how the things around him strongly seem as if they want to be lost from him. I feel sad for the speaker as he has to constantly deal with loss as I likewise reflect on the theme of emptiness, and learn that it can be a very torturous feeling to endure, despite it being invisible to others

The sarcastic tone of "art of losing" connotes the speaker's frustration with encountering losses in his life. This makes me pity the speaker as he laments on the many losses in his life, which made him feel as though it was an 'art' he was practicing. Therefore, I can reflect on the theme of loss and learn that there is no perfect road in life where one does not encounter loss but that we should learn from our losses and produce something out of it

The absolute word "accept" highlights a turning point in the speaker's attitude towards loss, where the speaker decides to embrace the losses in his life. This makes me feel happy for the speaker as he found an alternative to simply feeling frustrated at losing. This causes me to reflect on the theme of adaptation, and I learn that embracing challenges in life brings out the better in people

the high word intensity of "master" highlights the speaker's consistent encounters with losing in his life. This makes me pity the speaker as he has to constantly endure with the pain of losing someone/something, which can make one feel empty. I can reflect on the theme of loss and learn to accept that losing things is a normal occurrence in life and to move on from it
