No Poem Left Behind
Since the dawn of time
Poems have conceived in the minds of mankind
Engraved on their hearts
Lived through life’s parts
Beckoning to take heed
For no poem should be left behind
Poems of Birth
Poems of Rebirth
Poems of Celebration
Poems of Suffering
Poems of Death
These poems speak about life
They speak to the eyes
They speak to the ears
They speak to the mouths
They speak to the hands
They speak to the feet
For no poem should be left behind
As life's toils encroach upon thee
Let thy be reminded of those poems
Poems of ending poverty
Poems of reducing inequalities
Poems of addressing discriminatory barriers
Such poems have summoned prioritization
Such poems have summoned fast tracking action
Heed to such poems
For they pave the way for those left behind
Those with less access to health
Those with less access to education
Heed their pleas for a life of dignity
When life's toils encroach upon thee
Let thy be reminded of the power of those poems
For no poem should be left behind
When life's pleasures enrapture thee
Empower those left behind
Share a poem to them
A poem of birth
A poem of rebirth
A poem of celebration
A poem of suffering
A poem of death
For no POEM should be left behind
