World Poetry Day

 Bob Dylan is a musician  and songwriter who was awarded  the Noble Prize in Literature in 2016

This is one of his most popular songs

Blowing in the wind

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times



It is said he changed his name into Bob Dylan because of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas but it is not 100% clear according to some articles like this one
