Reading:

One (Wan) by Robin ‘Dobru’ Ravales (1935-1983).

One tree
so many leaves
one tree
One river
so many creeks
all are going to one sea
One head
so many thoughts
thoughts among which one must be good
One God
so many ways of worshipping
but one Father
One Surinam
so many hair types
so many skin colours
so many tongues
One people.
