    At that part of the poem, Rives begins to quote what other speakers at the same TED conference. He keeps quoting previous speakers (mimicking mockingbirds) until around 3:05.

    Rives is absolutely amazing. The way he uses words to play with ideas is incredible. I want to see him live.

    To ignore the art of creative speaking is to be blind to a whole new world of creative and inventive beauty.

    @JPhands It's about uniting our divided world by listening to each other. If he is the mockingbird and his words are the song then maybe his message can reach out and touch every single person he talked about in that poem.

    i just noticed... on youtube UK 5 stars comes up as 'excellent' as apposed to youtube USA where it comes up as 'awesome'. i think they should change it to 'spiffing' or 'top notch'. sorry, irrelevant i know. but yes naturally 5 stars and a favorite. stunning performance.

    Why does "Short explanation, hippie parents" get should a good reaction? It's the only part of this poem I don't quite understand.

  • @MalcDaMouf
    @MalcDaMouf Před 16 lety

    This is a wonderful poem and there is nothing wrong with it but what's up with the overly repeated hand motion?

  • @JPhands
    @JPhands Před 13 lety
