"You’’ in the poem "OFFERINGS’’
You is the pronoun used in the poem mentioned above as a way to make reference to the person of power who gives out presents to the rest of humanity. Those presents however are extremely weak and even worthless, not having any real use for the people who receive them. ‘’You’’ could be used here as a general term to make reference to either a political power or even a religious one.
"We’’ in the poem "OFFERINGS’’
The pronoun "we’’ is used just as in the case of "you’’ in a rather ambiguous term. We can assume however that it is used to make reference to a certain group of people, maybe to the humanity as a whole.
