Re: AUT: Fwd: Amiri Baraka poem

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>
<P>Baraka is a man who you have to hear to really appreciate. This poem is one meant to incite, to make those in a slumber think about themselves and their relationship to the global ruling class. </P>
<P>This as opposed to a poet more meant to be read, like Muldoon or Berry. Some fall in-between like Sandburg. <BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Why don't leninist poets learn to condense their verse
<DIV></DIV>&gt;into haiku or, at least, a sonnet? Send a copy of
<DIV></DIV>&gt;"Rhyme's Reason" to that man.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I dont favor him getting the boot but that's a pretty
<DIV></DIV>&gt;mediocre poem...at best. If he had started screaming
<DIV></DIV>&gt;"Moloch! Moloch!" towards the end of the poem, I might
<DIV></DIV>&gt;have been more impressed.
