Echoed Voices

Echoed voices from distant shores 
They sound the same as mine and yours 
The languages differ, a different tone 
From distant shores we speak our own
 
Echoed voices across the seas 
Hitching rides amongst the breeze
Speaking words that come to mind 
Peace be with you, and to all mankind
 
Echoed voices in open air 
Brothers and sisters cry despair 
On distant shores we hear their cries 
Together, we all must rise
 
Echoed voices for peace on earth 
Loving one another, is what it's worth 
Voices are heard like mine and yours 
Our echoed voices from distant shores

Faraz Ajmal Date: 6/19/2018 2:31:00 PM Such a lovely poem this is, what we must realize is that despite all our differences, whether religious, social or any other, we all are descendants of Adam and Eve, with a common ancestor, we all are brother and we should love each other, no matter if one is rich, or the other is poor,or black or white, in God s eyes these things don t matter, something which matters are deeds and love,your poems do have a really beautiful message, Login to Reply Charles Messina Date: 6/19/2018 2:43:00 PM You are absolutely right Faraz, we are all brothers no matter what our beliefs are.
