Poem and Gratitude List

Jamál (Beauty), 15 Asmá’ (Names) 175 B.E. - Monday, September 3, 2018

"The fundamental purpose animating the Faith of God and His Religion is to safeguard the interests and promote the unity of the human race."
Baha’u’llah12

Humanity's Unity3

Our unity
is in our DNA,
in the closely packed spirals
of our genetic code.

This poem way inspired by Race Unity: It’s In Our DNA   by Robert Atkinson and by the scriptures revealed by Baha'u'llah.
