Poem Title:
Poem
Teddy lives in a world of strife, Where fight for existence is stiff. He writes poems that show his daily struggle, As he tries to understand why there’s no mingle Between different tribes and clans; God, well maybe has better plans His eyes are black, and his skin brown, Like the Mother Earth he has grown. Poverty and corruption is the norm, As crime gangs day to day always form His world I say, is so different from mine Jan tries hard to make folks smile Forget their troubles for a while She writes poems that may make you weep Other poems she pens you may wish to keep Her eyes are green, her hair is titian - The colour’s out a bottle - that grey CAN be beaten! She lives on a little Island surrounded by the sea Where the air is fresh and there's no poverty Unemployment is low, there is little crime Her world is so very different from mine We share a love; A love for letters, words, And verses, Knit together to create a deep message That forever echoes deep within our souls. Difference in race, nationality and ideology Are all fused together in rhythm and sonnets, Making us citizens of the world, Enjoying the anarchy of love. We are miles apart across the sea But we share a love called poetry. 06-23-17 Collaboration between Jan Allison & Teddy Kimathi
