Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Belaboring the Obvious

Never mind one's feet of clay, for not one soul is perfect. 

              Never mind what political party one swears allegiance to.

            Never mind all the crazy things one says from time to time.

            Never mind what sex one comes home to, or makes love to. 

          Never mind what name one calls God; if one knows God or not

 What matters above all; one's inner humanity. We're all flawed yet special!
