Teach Them To Love Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

Looking at this world
it's amazing to see
how we have forgotten
the pure childlike love
which has no room for hate
love that simply trusts
and holds no grudges!

I can still hear mandela's words;
reminding us:
'No one is born hating another person
because of the colour of his skin,
or his background,
or his religion.
People must learn to hate,
and if they can learn to hate,
they can be taught to love,
for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.'

if we could pass on
one thing
I wish it were love
because we have completely forgetten how to show it
i wish thin we could
leave a legacy
of love
for our children
and our children's children

so if we are to live together
we must start by loving one another
