Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem of Lord Byron under the name of "Darkness" describes the suffering of the human race and mankind on the earth.

It starts with "I had a dream, which was not all a dream", a line with which Byron tries to say that vents shall become the truth if nothing changes.

He then proceeds to explain how all the people suffer in war, famine, darkness, and death.

The events off the poem happen in the light of inequality of the human race. He explains " And men forgot their passions in the dread / Of this their desolation; and all hearts / Were chill'd into a selfish prayer for light"

Finally, at the end of the poem, all the men and humans are all equal in the darkness, suffering, and pain ("And men were gather'd round their blazing homes / To look once more into each other's face")
