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
