"The Perfect World" | A Poem by Khalil Gibran

Narrated by Daniel "Avi" Avinash
In this poem, Khalil Gibran writes about an ideal way to live in order to take advantage of all that God has created, and thereby craft a perfect world.
The writer states what exactly a perfect world might look like. He does so by laying out a standard of life. However, he then appears quite distressed as he begins to realise that he is unable to achieve this "impossible" standard of living.
This poem was apparently written after Mr Gibran was invited to recite some of his work at Harvard University, the most refined institution that upholds the virtues of the 4th and 5th level systems. He was humiliated and ridiculed immediately after for using a style called “free verse”, something that fell outside the quantifiable measure of Harvard at the time.

Some say “How is this my life?” Some say “Why is this my life?” Optimism and collecting the positive and forgetting the negative are some beautiful things to aspire to.

love that he wrote this after visiting deadening Harvard! -- that said, this one is not a favorite for me...

[@DanielAvinashVOX]

Yeah Nick, every artist has her/his battles with the world and Khalil surely had his! By the way, what is your favourite poem of Khalil?
