Kwasi Cooper (x and x and me)
The poetry I love is actually from a great reggae singer called Bob Marley. Redemption Song and War. He is a singer but I believe these songs were also considered poetry. Since I didn’t have any other form of poetry that I read in the past, I will use these two titles. Redemption song kept me connected with my black heritage. It’s very inspirational and war shows how corrupted the world is, and what we can do to make it a better place. I love that.
In my personal opinion I believed song is also considered poetry. Except they just sound to convert it more to the audience. But poetry can also be conveyed by using your own voice, by using your tone, your loudness and etc. Which further developed the character of the poem. Also since Bob Marley is also known for his songs, his song also could be used as a poem, in fact, most of the song are either lyrical or poetic which is really depends on the audience’s preferences.
