"Rhetoric does not get you anywhere, because Hitler and Mussolini are just as good at rhetoric. But if you can bring these people down with comedy, they stand no chance."
-Mel Brooks
THE BLACKNESS OF MY BLACKNESS The blackest black of all are the mistakes that cannot be erased. Or unwritten. The accidental ink splatters that slowly spread And stain the perfect page.
It is pretty difficult to find parallels between your poem and the youtube video. Your poem, for example, has a darker tone to it than that of "Dream a Little Dream". You are talking about the imperfections of life, while "Dream a Little Dream" gives a warm, cheerful feeling. It focuses on the dream world, leaving all the imperfections and worries of life behind. Perhaps the main similarity I see between the poem and the video are the mistakes and dark spots in the world. Louis Armstrong escapes imperfection and mistakes through dreams, and you through writing.
