Ariadne’s Notes: I have been receiving so much e-mail from all over the world, some of it is so unique. This poem was read on the World Poetry Café Radio Show several weeks ago and I would like to feature him as an example of the quest for peace around the world.
“My name is Mahmood Jan from Afghanistan.
I am a 52 year old man I am living in Kabul, a shopkeeper in the selling of tiles.
I am sorry : I am studying English is but it is poor
I have a little knowledge of English
language. But I feel the pain of the world creating such pain topics as ( Voice of the heart of the world) that I wrote.
I thought I would share my topics the outcomes that I feel that I am alive to read especially in the writing or singing to express my feelings.
This is for reading on the world peace day with full singing sound on September 21st.
Voice of the Heart of the World
Our world Your world Our world
Our sky Your land Our space
I am As you are You are As I am
Our place You live We live Your place
Our love Your ambition Our ambition Your love
Our world Your world Our world
Our sky Your land Our space
Hey person Hey human Hey mankind
Our color Your blood Our body
Our intellect Your brain Our mind
We see You see Our lookout
We become dust We are melting
We become growth We become leaves
We become flowers
Our flowers Your flowers Our grass and land
Our world Your world Our world
Our sky Your land Our space
Our stones Your mountain Our universe
Our stars Your moon Our sun
We become light We become lamps We shine
This is our heart This is our heart This is our heart
Asia is our heart Australia is our heart Africa is our heart
America is our heart Europe is our heart
All people the world are one heart
All people the world are one heart

That was poetically beautiful and it is our world, all of us as one, but each unique in thinking and speaking. My heart was moved and my eyes moistened with tears from reading this. Thank you Mahmood Jan for writing such a heartwarming and endearing piece.
Thank you, I will let him know. It is amazing to get so many poets from all over the world with the goal of peace. Often the language berries are overcome in the interests of peace.
