Calm

A message from a poet to all that lives on earth to demonstrate mercy.

             Calm
Love and forgiveness is the way of peace
Reconciliation so that hate may cease
A softer tone to comfort the weak
A brighter path of negotiation and turning the other cheek
Holding hands in dear bonding with one another
All humanity living in harmony with each other.

A civilized state of common respect for all
The direction to tear down conflict and a sexist wall
To seek justice to insure safety with the reminder of responsibility
Redeeming our spirituality or freedom of choice, indiscriminately 
So that we all may stand united without fear undoubtedly
Calm.
