Does anyone on this thread know of the long poem about the cossack and the muslim, who were involved in a fight to death? It was written years ago and is very insightful.

Oh that is so cool! No one has answered your question yet, right? I feel like raising my hand and jumping up and down (cuz someone asked a question I can answer)!!!

It must have been a year or 2 ago that I could not ~quite~ remember a poem I found entertaining. It took a dozen or more attempts on google to find it (about an hour). I had the cadence in my head and some of the syllables or sounds of the Arab's name. Enough anticipation.

Abdull Abul-bul Amir.

I don't know of a way to turn off the midi music on that website, so if you want to go there, you might need to use your "mute" button after a while.

I will post the first paragraph so you can see if this is what you were looking for:

"The sons of the Prophet are brave men and bold
and quite unaccustomed to fear,
But the bravest by far in the ranks of the shah,
Was Abdul Abulbul Amir."

Thanks so much. I tried to google it, but I kept getting linked to more modern bloody tales. This was written a long time ago, but is so relevant today.

It should be required reading in all multicultural curicula in the public schools.
