As poets we have learned not to hate Theories of race, religion we cannot relate. A poet cannot be dictated to We write what our hearts hold true. From across the globe, we come to share Joys, sorrows, burdens we bare We are here today, gone tomorrow Life is but a time that we borrow Sharing thoughts, experiences On a platform that gives new meaning Learning to listen, learning to give The tolerance of learning to forgive. One cannot change the world with poetry Writing a poem is a feat extraordinary I think the written word is a thing of beauty Where sensibilities find sanctuary The world of poets is a fine place Here poets orbit as stars in the Milky Space.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This is so true. You said it all, poetess.

Stunningly good poem, Yasmin. It made me think. Art, poetry, music, whatever, can send the world in the right direction, but only those with a functional brain can react to that. With Idiots, religious maniacs and racists, art can never change anything. Great work ~ George

You are right about that, George.
It’s still is and will continue to be a dysfunctional world but I am sure music will not go in vain one day. You remind me of the Pied Piper .. you perhaps will be able to change ..Yasmin.
