Two poems of Jon, 'Flower power' and 'Colour Blind' brought this to my mind... just listen to the two clips in the background, when you read the poem, one by one...


PoetBay Anthem!

Today,
You brought back
The two most powerful words
That changed the world
To my memory:

The speech by
Martin Luther King Junior:
"I have a dream"
That one-day
My four little children
Will not be judged
By the colour of their skin
But, by the content of their character..."
Hark! Listen!

And think!

The song by John Lennon,
The anthem of all
Peace loving people
Of the world:
"Imagine all the People
Sharing all the world!
Youuuu, you may say
I am a dreamer,
But I am not the only one...
I hope some day you will join us"
Hark! Listen!

Enjoy!

Let's
Put these two together,
Friends,
And make
Them
The Anthem
Of the poetBay!

Now,
You may read the poem,
I wrote the other day:

I hope you agree
with what I have to say?

Cheerio!!!!
Love, xxx, Zoya

I totally agree!!!!!!!! I think any person who refuses to associate with other people bacause of their color misses out on a lot.Character comes first and foremost........colour is just the beauty that makes us appreciate diversity.Bravo Zoya.Its about time someone said it in poetry.
