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

No poem should be left behind... For through poems, we are expressing, defining, creating, sharing, connecting, and etc... What an awesome poem to share. I love it and enjoy reading it :)
