A TOAST

Cheerful but emotional

A toast

To the deaths of every soul

Crushed in the forest

By evil goals

 

A toast

To the evils of wipes and force

Drawn from the duplicity

In their stripes of course

 

A toast

To the deaths of pending dreams

Bloods and tears

Flowing in our rivers and streams

 

A toast

To the pains from our broken heart

Through the evils of a host

Our worlds turn apart

 

A toast

To a seed sown

A toast

To the weeds grown

 

A toast

to the strength of a skin

A toast

to the beauty of dark skin

Wow! A very potent write so finely penned. We may all have different coloured skin, come for all different parts of the world, all have different religions or none, all have different aims, dreams and desires, BUT we are ALL one because each of us is a valued member of The Family of Man. We are, in truth, all brothers and sisters. Our aim should be to help each other in any and every way that we can, showing love and care to each other and sharing with each other and if we could that our whole world would be transformed. The Third World would no longer exist, we would all work together for the benefit of all and our world would be such a beautiful, safe, friendly, happy, pleasant and blessed place to live in. I support your words 110% Tumi. You have expressed your thoughts and feelings excellently and through excellent word choice painted an amazingly true picture of the world we presently live in. Kudos well deserved, dear poet! Thank you for sharing...

The above lines were my favorite. We must teach our children. They come from great people, love their heritage and their skin color. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
