There is so much poetry in this poem: metaphor, implied meaning, both ordinary comprehensible language and interesting words and references. It is also, as another comment says, moving, because it draws on the lessons of history, which those sections of society hell-bent on economic 'progress' choose to ignore. poetjanstiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366592443925617507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-49262653843676316002014-09-26T07:23:38.780-04:002014-09-26T07:23:38.780-04:00This poem is so inclusive and celebratory.
