We Are All Brothers by jasminerose at All poetry

Livelihood stolen
Twisted tongues of betrayal,
swindled on trade winds

Sacred beliefs encircle,
strength, courage in hearts prevail

Thunder Warrior
Culture, traditions honored
Ancestor’s spirits

Painted journey continues,
dawning hopes, of unity

Author notes

"This is a great form of poetry that flows from my thoughts, though the picture I see is greater, I have summed it all up beautifully in such short verse."

Beautifully presented
Your words speak volumes of all that could be. Unity; a most precious word, not something many know the true meaning of in todays world.But, there is always hope now isn't there?
Excellent form!
