The actual poem is 96 lines long. This guy read 4 of those lines, perhaps the "moral of the story" part. The poem's story is about an Afghan thief who steals a horse from an English colonel. The colonel's son chases down the thief, and the two fight. Each has the capacity to utterly destroy the other. Each is impressed with that capacity in the other, and with the will by which this destructive capacity is restrained. The two make an interesting exchange and a pact.

There have been a widely known difference between East and West along History since the Medic Wars between Greeks and Persians, 2500 years ago. Since then, East is East and West is West, and nothing ever done has been able to change that. But, when it comes to people, to individuals, it doesn't matter East or West, because we're all men and we feel the same, crave for the same and fight for the same. That's the meaning I get from it.

This is a Celebration of the Awakening to the Unity of Spirit - the same realization as the Persian poet Rumi shares in his piece "What is to be done o Muslims, for I do not recognise myself etc."

I love this poem and Rudyard Kipling but what was he trying to say in this poem? What does it mean?

He says that the proverb "East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet' is wrong. The two heroes of the poem (one eastern, one western) recognise eternal virtues in each other that transcend their cultural differences. The whole poem is almost 100 lines.

This would be so much better without the music. :P

such an interesting debate with poetry recitals. because the music has a rhythm and the poem has a rhythm and they can easily clash and destroy one another

It's actually a long poem, and this is a small fragment. Overdone with all the music and lighting and stage props.
