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