Geography & Music of Poetry

The first stanza of the poem 'Anthem of the World' by Hans Van Rostenberghe, is the perfect introduction to this Anthology. And further on he writes:

How I wish I had the musical talent
To sing the anthem of this wonderful nation
That is called the World.
…

It would be the anthem of Peace
…
The anthem of love and kindness
The anthem of nature and humanity
The anthem of truth and honesty
…

This is indeed the message that the poets whose poems make this collection, want to pass on to the readers, through their verses.
