London
by: William Blake

" In every cry of every man, in every infants cry of fear, in every voice, in everyban the mind forg'd manacles i hear"

These lines are about how in the crys that the writer hears his realizes that they are trapped by themselves and cannot do anything to help them become free. All of the bad thoughts that they were thinking would come together as in oneself. as the writer hears the crys he is imagining evrything that could be happening but might not be happening.

The writer is saying that when you hear these people crying all you think is what is happening, is someone hurt? When you hear someone cry you dont know if someone is hurt or not but thats all you think. The writer is imagining all of the bad in the world even if it isnt necessarily happening right now.

Derelict is the vocabulary word i chose because it means abandoned and in this poem the children are abandoned.
