Poem Artwork

 

Be the starlight
shining in the night

Be the beacon of love and sympathy
singing tolerance in harmonious symphony

Be the guide lleading way out of closed minds
be the teacher to help the masses find
courage to stand up toward prejudiced norms
together a brighter future in peace they form

I'm not much of a believer in gods of any kind
ecxept the god that dwell within the human mind

I believe we are the creators of our splendor
we have within us the defenders 
against the fearsome dark
and we stand together stark

Just remember there is no dark in the elevated mind
knowledge is always the key to leave darkness behind

There is no black or white as the bigoted preach
there exist all colors, a caleidoscope in each

The mind is a rainbow of great magnitude
standing strong in great fortitude

Even greater when together we stand
a gathering of humankind holding hand

This is my inner wish and may it come true
to bring a brighter future for me and you
