Wholeheartedly agreed. We are all Ubuntus, sharing a commonality that goes beyond religion, race, caste and other man-made walls. Humanity is our biggest binding factor, if only humans would would be humane enough to realize it. Love your poem, and your title is just so ninja hattori!! Love that too!😊

You are most welcome and glad that we share the same sentiment.
P.S. My poet is missing in action, hasn’t been keeping well. So it’s just me the poetess doing the PR (read blabbering) 😂
Glad you enjoyed the ninja stint😂
