Babies Breath

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

Inspired by the work of Melvia F. Miller's, "All Folks Were Created Equal, Views from the Back of the Bus" where I was honored not just to write the book's foreword, but she also gave my poem "and just us for all" an international recognition by including it in her book. "All Folks. . . " stimulates creative thinking, better human relations and cultural awareness. Visit her website. And for those who think this is a paid commercial, you couldn't be more in error.

Who among us can put a price on one's heart?

Poem Artwork




Let's save the babies,


no room for pretense,


racism ruins nations


at the children's expense.



Fallujah is crying,


Somalia too--


It doesn't take genius


to know just what to do.



Embrace the peace-message


of Jesus-the-Christ,


When we nuture the inner child,


Earth holds no vice.


© 2004 by cynth'ya lewis reed





Poet's Note: I was asked to write the forward to the book "All Folks Were Created Equal, Views from the Back of the Bus." ISBN: 0-595-23458-4, Writer's Club Press, an imprint of iUniverse Inc.


Melvia's book, guaranteed to refresh children and adults who want to learn more about diversity and have FUN learning about it!
