Can anyone tell me what this passage is saying?

A man is born into a world of death, as good as dead, prison is a place of ^^^^ and our birth is just a way to get into prison for which the only escape is prison. As soon as we are ready to live, we get ready to die. We kill beasts only to make clothing to cover all men, who are all dying. When man was created by god he was made to do something but that something is just the cause of death. We farm to make food, but that is just reminding us of the death that awaits us, from hunger, Our short life is wasted and goes by unnoticed by the grand scheme of things like a small leak in a vessel. Our lives are all the same. They just have yet to happen. Life is done without saying.

That passage is about death and how meaningless a humans life is. That is really hard to decipher. What is it from? I think i did a pretty good job with it… Im only 13, how old are you?

that too

thank you lots!

thank u ever so much

Okay, so the writer’s main idea is that life is this metaphorical prison as such in which we are trapped until our only escape i.e-death. Note that the writer is using metaphors in his language technique which keeps the reader intrigued. The poem is generally quite pessimistic and focuses on the theme of death. His idea states that we have always been dying since the minute we were born and he obviously doesn’t think much of life either because he describes it as a ‘prison’. I’d say that the speaker’s main purpose is to challenge the reader, to intrique them and to make them think. He does this with use of rhetorical questions that you may include in the bit about language techiques used i.e, ‘Wasn’t a man born dying?’. This makes the reader think and challenges us. Language techniques also used include: alliteration i.e, prison is a place, close in the creator’s hand etc- helps to create rhythm and thus keep the reader stimulated. So…… IDEA= DEATH, WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DYING, JOURNEY, LIFE IS ONLY THIS PRISON THAT WE LIVE IN UNTIL OUR ESCAPE (DEATH) SPEAKER’S MAIN PURPOSE= CHALLENGE READER AND THEIR PERCEPTION OF LIFE, INTRIGUE THEM LANGUAGE TECHNIQUES USED=METAPHORS (there are plenty so you can use lots of examples), RHETORICAL QUESTIONS, ALLITERATION, I think that should do, hope it helps!
