I absolutely love the poem. I have never read or in this case heard a poem with so much emotion and meaning both at once. The scope for interpretation is endless. This poem by itself is more than sufficient to get a person interested in Post-colonialism as a topic of research, no to mention postmodernism as a discourse to language. It made my day. Food for thought.
