Unique, Yet United

by Sondos   Feb 14, 2006


The voices and aromas
Arouse my senses
I see our society
Through rose-coloured lenses

My culture and yours
Dancing in harmony
Our warmth for one another
Knows no boundaries

The blacks and the whites
And the ones in between
Will merge to form a rainbow
So pure and pristine

I silence the gunshot
With the clap of my hands
My voice will drain the floods
And drench the sweltering sands

What is the world
Without its family?
We will paint our future
With peace and beauty

We are all like a rainbow
A melody so sweet
Diversity and culture
Make our world complete

    I would post my favourite lines or stanza - but I would end up reposting your poem! That really is a very individual poem - and on a subject I've never read a poem about before. Great technique, and the imagery of the rainbow - full of colour and peace. Of course - you only ever get a rainbow when the rain is dissapearing and the sun appears :)

    Peace. [Sole]

    This is full of original and vivid images. The comparisons and ideas worked really well. The flow was good, however one line I stumbled over. Third stanza, third line I found to be rather wordy. I could almost say that for line four of the second stanza too because the similar sounding words so close together interupted the flow for me. That was just as I read it, it may well just be fine as it is. I enjoyed this very much, I admire the original and thought provoking tone it has.
