Susanna C. Hemphill Poems

We need a new world, Ours is obstinate, cold, closed-minded, and ugly.
If we could live in a world where we honor and love one another,
whether we are straight/gay, black/white, faint/strong, thick/thin, uniform or eccentric.
We could be "one kind", equal.
...

If the eyes are the window of the soul, why can't you see my pain?
Can't you hear the sounds of a desperate heart?
If there are no words to be spoken to ease my sorrow,
and actions are supposed to speak louder than words,
...

If I could trust myself as I have trusted all of you with my heart.
I could be free to be the genuine me.
If I could give to myself as I have given all of me to all of you.
I could live everyone of my dreams.
...

The Best Poem Of Susanna C. Hemphill

New World

We need a new world, Ours is obstinate, cold, closed-minded, and ugly.
If we could live in a world where we honor and love one another,
whether we are straight/gay, black/white, faint/strong, thick/thin, uniform or eccentric.
We could be "one kind", equal.
Our world would receive enough rain and shine without leaving anyone yearning or dreading.
People would give the best and receive the same in return.
We would all be equal.
No one greater, no one lesser.
Pain & fear would not be in our vocabulary.
Exception, love, trust, respect, loyalty, honor and joy would be a part of our language.
One would treat another as their own flesh.
Equal.
I know this world I have created is not realistic nor is it attainable even in my dreams.
Perhaps it can be found in the afterlife.
