A social site for poets in Sydney.
Let's speak a common tongue.
Erase boundaries and barriers
That have bred deep trenches
And left hearts and minds
Bristling with the hurt; the rage and the hate
That politicians exploit to strengthen the "STATE".
Let us exchange materials and memories
That reveal our frailties as mortal beings;
Without the scars and labels that nationalities impose.
I cry-you cry- we all cry-
I laugh-you laugh-we all laugh-
but let us laugh with you-not at you!
And let us cry with you-not make you cry!
For in the end, the end for all is just the same.
Be it dust or ash-Death even out the injustice
Of a collective, and often cultivated, racial prejudice.
