“Lift Your Right Arm,” written by Peter Cherches, is a poem with simple words and lucid meanings. In my opinion, the writer was trying to talk about the society that he experienced.
According to the poem, the lady asks the writer to put his arms up and down several times. At first, the writer emphasizes “Both of my arms were up”. He might be kind of impatient at that time because he just put his arms up and down without being told why. But two extra times later, he didn’t seem to care anymore. He kept following the lady’s orders again and again. He didn’t know why he did and maybe even didn’t recognize who the lady is. He started to be customary and calm down. But the lady suddenly stopped asking- he was struggling what to do. He was used
