A Letter To The World Poem by AMADU KAMARA

A LETTER TO THE WORLD

Dear Black and White,

Creation says that we are equally
Made from dust while history always tells
Us that we are all from the ancestry
Of apes but humanity differ from
The truth because of our different races
That propagate racist ideologies.
The world is sick with racist infection
Which can only be cured if man extend a
Kiss to his fellow man irrespective
Of race, color, origin and status.

If the white and black man is prone to the
Most constant things which are life, death and change
Itself, then why mortals are making home
Meaningful segregations. Land is free
In nature, so why can't we make it
Free from hate and fill it with a true love
That's everlasting so that we keep
The future clean for next generations.
The greatest legacy one can merit
On earth is love because it unites us.

Our racial animosity inflicts
Stabbing wounds to our souls especially
When it is inconvertible to love.
Our voices need to be trumpeted to all
Race of the world that ideologies
On racism will be aborted like an
Exploded nuclear bomb covering
The earth's surface. Our planet needs to be
Saved from the madness of our personal
Differences that keep on dividing us.
