This is a wonderful, thought-provoking poem written by Ibrahim Kosso from our APOW group. He wrote and performed it at the LOVE Festival in the Dome.
Togetherness is love, and together we love
Love is a fear that a mother has
In Inner Mongolia
Who filled up a pot with water to persuade her children’s empty bellies, that there is food cooking
Until
They get tired of waiting for the water to turn into a roast salmon.
Togetherness is love and together we love
Love is the smell of the scarf that a Syrian child keeps always with him because it has smells of his little sister
Who became a fish
To the fish.
Togetherness is love, and together we love
Love is an East African, breaking down harsh concrete, digging to the bottom, scattering Moroccan seeds and watering them each morning
Love is an East African, breaking down harsh concrete, digging to the bottom, scattering Moroccan seeds and watering them each morning
In an Indian garden.
Growing a British Rose.
Togetherness is love and together we love
