The Poet's Corner

By Malcolm Little Black





A hate free world is achievable,

So also the love that knows no border;

And the jewel inside the boogeyman’s sack,

Beckons to the brave, and the bold at heart…





To love and be loved,

Are life’s most underestimated treasures;

Same as the river of kindness,

Flowing unrecognised by human blindness…





Life is so much not like a walking shadow,

Nor a piece of a half baked pie;

But a gift wrapped with leaves of olive,

A desert cactus waiting to be discovered…





There is a candle in every heart,

And a spark that permeates every soul;

Only in lighting our hearts shall we light up the world,

With the flame that burns from within…





Where darkness reigns,

where evil prevails;

There the spark is interred,

And the candle unwittingly impaired…





Indeed a war free world is possible,

And so also is peace that knows no bound;

A world free from trolls,

Where beauty holds the rein.
