This species is discovered in all the oceans from the world even though only solitary bulls venture…

On the onset, there does not seem to be any difference between poetry and song. After all, there are several different lyrics used in songs that have been derived from poetry. Two examples of this idea can be found in the musical poetry of Amiri Baraka's poem "Wailers" and Todd Rundgren's "Wailing Wall".
