Poetry Good for Development

With thoughts sometimes deep like sea

With bright lamps that help us see

With spoken lines that clarify paths for our feet

Do literary sages through ages greet

Words that give hope to our poor and liberate us to soar

Calm storms that rage, stirring love and not hate

Open blind eyes to united diversity and shuts out abuse of humanity

Heal hearts that bleed is all the poetry we may need

Poetry can be useful for global development. Therefore, no word that demeans human potential and enslave should come to the birth table. 

Words that bring #peace, shared prosperity is #poetry good for #sustainabledevelopment.
