well, leslie, that was a pretty drastic comment to make. It is, ofcourse, your business entirely, but maybe you ought to think of reading and enjoying poetry as a 'person' and not as a Doctor. true, you may not be able to recite poetry in an OT, but maybe when you have kids, you could introduce them to the beauty of words?

I'm sorry, I accedentaly pressed enter, but as i was saying to Leslie Johnson from the United States, poetry brings beauty to life, something we are loseing. It has its unique way of saying things. Do you like music? What is the purpose of music? Well, let me tell you somthing, music is a poem, a lyric poem to be exact. Something, I'm pretty sure, you can't understand Oh and by the way, are you in first grade? It's because of people like you we're losing the English language.

Leslie from the United States, you make Americans seem ignorant to poetry. Before you decide to bash on another person's poetry, first you should learn how to write proper english because you've made yourself look ridiculous. On the other hand, I found the imagery from this poem to be beautiful and well written. And Mufasa, this is not racist at all, it's not about that. It's about a young man yearning for his old life in Africa, the beauty of letting go.
