On This Momentous Day

All Poets are gathered under the banner of poetry As the world is thrown under the tumultuous path of uncertainty Humanity submerged in a disgusting marshmallow of turmoil and hopelessness It's up to the Poets to rise beyond their personal circumstances and be the bright sky Let the poetic spirit take us to the realm of possibilities Where peace, happiness and Love are found Let us be illuminated by the presence of hope And be the pillars of the house of humanity Let our voice bring strength to the heart of those who are vulnerable and full of hopelessness Let the pen of poetry show us the way to a bright future A lush wilderness full of peace, happiness and Love Today, as we celebrate 'World Poetry Day' Let us remember that our poems carry more than art... These are words from the river of living water (spirit) Let us quench the thirstness of the world Bring true healing to the house of humanity Happy World Poetry Day! ! ! ©Kenneth Maswabi
