One Relationship Can Bring Us Together Poem by Fatema Alidina

Pamoja,
Togetherness,
We're a family as one,
I understand you,
You understand me,
We might not live together,
But we are united,
Just like the waves,
Splashing on shore together,
And the trees swishing from side to side protecting each other,
We should try and become like the waves and the trees,
We shouldn't forget that we are all related somehow,
Our hope and strength should not be crushed but instead…
We should climb out of the dark cave of meanness and injustice holding hands,
And bring humanity to life,
We should stand up and be proud of our team,
We should show people that our link will never break,
But the link of power and wealth will,
As we have learned from The Holy Quran and the Ahadith,
People will get their rights,
Our willpower can take over with more support,
Nothing is impossible,
Possibilities are endless,
Like space…
