I need some help with finding an irony in this poem, PLEASE!? - girl fingers self with electric toothbrush vid
This is the poem:
Baby, baby behind me on the bus
get
and tap the power of my curly hair
Finger dipped in
Magic brown skin of the neck
to see whether it
Her mother
clapped their hands away
Hush-up questions
and wondered aloud,
Why not leave.
I turn and smile for you
But you are lost
in silence and fear that you are logged in Mother Love wrapped
I'm sitting next to you
I snuggled very large hot car
instead, while juggling your mother land.
then you know that it's okay

Not quite sure but I think it might be a small child around the neck of a United States person and ask to touch his mother earth "does not disappear, the child is thought to silence by his mother and African-Americans, but perhaps if He sat beside the boy, that explains why his skin was then, and how it is as simple as the next person. And you can ask questions ...
This is what I have of him, hope that helps
See "Types of irony in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony
They will give a boost ... You can also try to rewrite what happened in the poem in plain language. Swing back, if you do not get stuck.
"But you're lost
in the silence and fear that surrounds them in. "Mother Love"
It's ironic, because he expected that the love of a mother's warm and soft, not silence and fear.
