It seems that the line breaks are not being honoured:-
This poem is dedicated to Benoit Wobiwo Benoit knew the power of the word. He also knew That to really count you have to learn. It’s not enough to count each growing pepper vine You also have to learn to make it count. He knew the world was changing. That schooling would from now count for so much more. His village was appearing on more maps. And so this quiet hero spent his coin The money he and his good wife saved through striving on the farm. He spent it giving words to each and every child Of the people in the village where he lived. He didn’t tell and when he came to die His wife discovered that the money wasn’t there. He left no debts, but everlasting pride. You can see it in his daughter’s face As she retells. @46 21/06/18
