Other than perhaps the grammar, I find it impossible to imagine how
anyone could be offended by, for example, this one:

 Strive to the pass of high mountain	=20
 Cross in the shallow side of the wide ocean	=20
 Do not give up because of distance	=20
 Will certainly reach if walks	=20
 Do not discourage of human	=20
 Shall overcome if you try

You may as well be offended by Rocky.

--=20
That must be wonderful!  I don't understand it at all.
