If Humans Would | Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 313: IF HUMANS WOULD where what we have in common is all of us where family ties is not mum and dad but siblings found among strangers where what is god would matter no more ceiling, wall or floor, we all mumble to a god where humanity would top the list, love, the air we breathe where diversity is the spice of life, difference, it's unifying factor, divergence, it's colorful song, the kind of world, I crave for, you can call me a dreamer #365DaysOfPoetry #Pengician #SSA Enjoyed reading?

Where tolerance is the air we breathe Where opposites meet and have no beef Where North the South embrace. My fair utopia not a bleached black of masked malice not a cloaked cloud of stormy sho...
