Oh good god, yet another weak defense. The poem is boring in any language. I didn't lose anything in translation and quite frankly you sound rather ignorant placing me in a cultural generalization. The poem is a weak sentiment from someone who lacks the proper experience or depth to write a poem that has the force to move people. It is generalist. If it had the same title, was translated from Farsi, and was I good poem, believe me, I would be the first to compliment it. Do not bring cultural context into your defense. It won't work.
