To eat the fish from the Pond, <br />To eat the fish from the river, <br />To eat the fish from the lake, <br />To eat the fish from the sea, <br />To eat the fish from the ocean; <br />Like the Looks of a beautiful woman and, <br />The Looks of a handsomel man in your town! <br />However, water is everywhere on this earth, <br />Yet stil, many don't have enough to drink. <br /> <br />Life! <br />With care and concern for others; <br />Because, little drops of water makes a mighty ocean. <br />Muse! <br />With the dignity of a man and, the dignity of a woman; <br />And, with the objects of creation all around us. <br />True love! <br />Like a lamp-stand of pure gold; <br />With an ovation fit for peace, unity and joy. <br /> <br />New pathogens! <br />They are everywhere; <br />But, do show mercy and compassion to all your neighbours. <br />Life! <br />Be at peace with one another; <br />And respect the grey headed. <br />Muse! <br />Like cheese from a cow's milk; <br />And like a Spider in a king's palace.<br /><br />Edward Kofi Louis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-at-peace-with-one-another/
