Each One Of Us
Esther Ogbonna 1996 (Aba)
For humanity is like the rainbow;
That dresses up life in beautiful tapestry
Like the sun;
That takes her leave, so the moon can hush all night
For humanity is even;
Identifying with all color, race, and lingo
It is concerned;
About everybody, and nobody in particular
For a world that reeks of self
How divine it is to find,
A love so untamed, unconditioned, and free of prejudice
So tonight,
Whatever our disparities may be
Let's fix our pieces together
And tune our hearts to the rhythm of love
That in the end, it will still be
One earth, one humanity.
About this poem
This poem talks about humanity, love, nature, life and racial harmony. In the spirit of Valentine's day celebration, there is need for every person of color, race and language to truly share love without any form of prejudice. We all belong to one earth and we identify as one species.
