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. #WorldPoetryDay 2021 #sustainabledevelopment #peace Photo credit:UNESCO
