Weeks Ago, At The Airport

A few weeks ago, at the airport I saw Black people, Eskimos White people, Muslims Brown people, Chinese Blonde people, Arabs Europeans, Africans, Asians Jews, West Indians Hawaiians, Australians East and American Indians Oh! That was a beautiful image An incredible landscape To see so many with so much in common And so many with so little differences They were short, tall, tiny, and heavy And very friendly. A smile was hidden Beneath their cheeks, as beautiful as Heaven That was the true faces of humanity More like the United Nations They were all Americans With the same rights and privileges Oh! That was fantastic This adjective has been around For millions of years That was wonderful Where everyone was under one flag Belonged to one Nation Yes, I am talking about America The melting pot of this Universe We are stronger when we are seen And treated as one, as one happy family No, now, I am not dreaming I am living it and enjoying Those emotions and realities In my heart. May God bless America And the children of our World! Copyright © July 4,2016 Logerie Hébert, All Rights Reserved Hebert Logerie is the author of several collections of poetry.
