That’s a great poem. Even if Kipling is now considered to be an ‘Imperialist’.
(By the way, have you seen this? Wonderful film.)

Someone who thought the British Empire was a good thing. He thought Britain brought culture to the natives, and did good things for third world countries by making them more ‘British’.
Definition of Imperialism: A policy of extending a country’s power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means.
He was also exceptionally patriotic.
Best wishes, Pete.

I don’t measure up to every condition in this poem, but I love it all the same because of the breadth of its vision.

A lot of profound thoughts and considerations in this poem. I wasn’t impressed with the narrator though.

Sorry Carla. I’ve featured Geoff’s covers of Country Roads and Sixteen Tons on here and people are usually blown away by his bass.

I love the songs he does, and have shared them with my son, but I think this was the pacing for me. It was so slow……

Thanks chuq. At least a couple of others who love his singing, didn’t care for his reading the poem so you’re not alone.

Hi Shira. Thanks so much for thinking of me. I’m not sure what that would entail. Right now I’m pretty bogged down with reviews and blog tours, and of course real life, so I hesitant to take anything else on.

Understood. It just entails reposting a post from the Educational Collaborative blog
when one of your blog posts is posted. Pretty simple.
