Hey,
I got a pretty interesting poem yesterday and now I have to figure out what it`s all about....
Could somebody may help me or has some one own ideas like an interpretation ???
Zulfiker Ghose -Georaphy Lesson
When the jet sprang into the sky
it was clear why the city
had developed the way it had,
seeing it scaled six inches to the mile.
There seemed an inevitability
about what on ground had looked haphazard,
unplanned and without style
when the jet sprang into the sky.
When the jet reached ten thousand feet,
it was clear why the country
had cities where rivers ran
and why the valleys were populated.
The logic of geography-
that land and water attracted man-
was clearly delineated
when the jet reached then thousand feet.
When the jet rose six miles high,
it was clear that the earth was round
and that it hadmore sea than land.
But it was difficult to understand
that the men on the earth found
causes to hate each other, to build
walls across cities, and to kill.
From that height, it was not clear why.
Thank for your help :D
