Oneness Poem by Goodness Tchibueze

The foamy roof of the world
Is one everywhere:
Over the grainy mat
And over the fluidy cellophane;

The grainy mat of the world
Is one everywhere:
Under the foamy roof
And under the fluidy cellophane;

The fluidy cellophane of the world
Is one everywhere:
Under the foamy roof
And on the grainy mat.

The creatures of the world
Are one everywhere:
Those on the foamy roof,
Those on the grainy mat,
And those in the fluidy cellophane.

The world was born of one womb:
The womb was of one egg,
The egg was of one parents,
The parents were of one blood,
The blood was of one heart,
The heart was of one beat,
The beat was of one breath,
And the breath was of one body.
