A World I Create Poem by Charles Kanyuga

A World I Create



In the beginning was the word
This was with a poet
Let there be a world
Separated by waters
Defined by rocks
Some give corns, some gold
Some give milk, some oil
Some give honey, others wonders
The Creator designed it so
So that love may prevail
In good faith we may share
The providence of nature

Black and white paints a beauty
A wonderful complex
Like the clouds above
Whether light or heavy
When they condense together
Share with us a portion of life
With do not throw bullets at them
We can not rob from them
Yet they freely share with us
None is all in all
Not even the kingdom of Sheba
Where gold flows like a river

When we uncover wells
All animals will drink from there
But we guard them with fire
From a thirsty deer
As though we will not need it
When we hunger for meat

A black or a brown horse
Makes no difference
Both gives us a ride
None becomes superior
By the virtue of its colour
The joy of a rider is
when they arrive
To their destination

This is my world
Defined not by rocks or lakes
Neither by height nor colour
But by the measure of love
All can share with all
Whether black or brown
Whether white or pink
They are all beautiful colours

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I like the world you created, I like the poem too. It is only by sharing our worlds wealth we can expect peace to return. Before time of ownership and title deed, man worked, shared the load, shared the crops and gave thanks to Sky God that gave them sun and rain. When the crops failed from drought they moved to fertile land. A great poem regards Bob
