On the 1st ballad it told how a black man told the land lord he wasnt going to evict from his house. The song was telling about how people need to have better seeing of the world and how people should always have their arms wide open.

ReplyDeleteI think that poems also,have a great way of encouraging others.
They repeat what they already wrote before in every other stanza.Like it would say Imagine in the first of the stanza and then It would say it again in the next.Same thing with they poem I read it would say Landlord,Landlord Then It would say it again so I think thats why thier both called a ballad because thats the only similarity I found with both ballads.
