Mental confusion help: What do you think this means?

What do you think this means?

I wrote this poem, and I think it’s obvious what it means, but everyone I ask seems to get confused. See if you can figure it out.

To Whom it May Concern

The air we breathe
the very nature of our existence
Oxygen, please
Is more prevalent in the sea.
Us and them, we all rely on air,
but we can’t breathe below
and they can’t breathe up there.
Policies, procedures, reports, and other deeds
Watching, Waiting, Devouring our every seed.
No wait, the box says “satisfaction guaranteed”
Is that the guarantee of oxygen
beneath an icy sea?

Hmm well my initial thing was simply sea creatures of some kind, then I thought perhaps some vague metaphor about death and life after death, then I thought again because of “seed” it had something to do with an animal because the only other seed is seminal or some kind of creation which i didnt think applied.

I’ll give you a clue. The poem is not about animals or anything. It is metaphorical, and can be applied to a lot of different situations.

I see global warming. But are you trying to say it’s about the fishing industry?

Help me with: Meh, I’m done.

Aside from that, you’re forcing your rhymes. It might work better as a free-verse poem.

it’s all a mystery.
you can feel the cold cold wind rising.
cold vs hot vs healthy vs order vs chaos

we can’t save
ourselves until we
save everything.

there is no satisfaction guaranteed
till we till again, watch the world, taste the dirt.

eat what we raise, vegetable or protein.

feel the sweat run free on an august day,
shiver when december comes.

wonder,
as we wonder now,
is there enough to get us through the winter
howling down upon us
i can feel that wind and I’m scared.

Are you?

Help me with: Help, please, I’m a nothing and a nobody.
