Analysis and comments on The Rock Cries Out to Us Today by Maya Angelou

Comment 6 of 6, added on February 19th, 2006 at 1:03 PM.

The rock signifies strength. The strength for us as people everywhere is
the world to stand together as one. Not to hide behind shame,humility or
cowardness, but to be able to stand strong in our own right for what we
believe in and what we know is right. We as a people can unify and become
one and be solid as a rock.

This poem expresses how I feel about our nation ignoring the harm of our
earth for the simple grace of capitalizism.

When I first looked upon this poem and seen the "rock" immediately "Jesus
Christ" entered my mind because He indeed is the "Rock" of salvation.

The poem is amazing. Maya Angelou is brilliant as always. In line 7, "of
their" is repeated.
