From earlier this summer, I’m still being reminded about this poem and ad daily.
In this ad it was the first time I heard this poem and I’ve played it many times over. And with the current political and social issues, We should all be reminded of this daily if not every moment.
I know it’s an ad for Apple, but it’s actually well made and I’m happy they want to bring this to our attention.
