most muslim poems are short and right to the point.Why do you think Omar wrote such a long poem about the fleetingness of people's lives?what does the length suggest about the author?
Thanks so much for answering the question!

To be honest I have not read the poem. I wonder if it was written in one of those torture camps or in Syria or Egypt. I've heard a story about some prisoners in Egypt, if memory serves correctly,...or Guantanamo, they were allowed to write and began a collective enterprise writing or helped to write a poem. 2500 lines or so and counting. I guess if you lose your community to murder, then you get rather deep and you want to leave behind you some kind of testament. Perhaps he is true pacifist.
The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.
