International Poetry Day By Unesco

You honor poets by this day - this our souls require! My far-off ancestral fire and I born in indenture (South Africa) Still learned "NAMASTHE: I bow before your spirit!" No handshakes needed, for higher things we aspire In Mandela's Africa, where Indian & Gandhi no more inspire But COVID-19 will perhaps unite us again, as Lincoln & King

Amen Charlie. USA celebrates all of April ... & I wondered why UNESCO did not prefer a day in April (15th, The Ides of IRS DAY?) shalom, shalom in Him
