I have never found a poet who could strike those parrallels yet. Yes, the mango is the taste of our God- given potential and the unfortunate pride that arises out of it. In the four emotions of the poet, Emma describes the transcient nature of man's station in life. We can definitely relate to this circumstance described in Emma's poem as Ghanaians, both native and expatrite. The true value of our identity lies in the frequency of use of our potential.<BR/><BR/>Kudos, EmmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
