An insightful rendition that leaves the reader with an enigma to ponder....

'Is light enough? ' - A point to ponder! Congratulations on the poem's selection as the 'Modern Poem of the Day'!

Dilute confusion. Find and explode our mist.....yeah; reduce the confusion of universal welfare, universal unity and humanity; delete the misty racism by delineation divided nations; please let us be one over all the world; great poem penned on to be the human's orderly mind

I'm sure many learned poets consider this a great poem, but I simply do not get it. Ms. Brooks throws down so many images and none of them seem to relate to the title of the work.

I would not have known it was about the garbage man. I guess they are different this side

I will not go into this poem. It requires much writing to be just to it. There is much in these lines, but I will say that " how can you pardon us" is a statement in the form of a question around which the poem is based or revolves.
