Dialogue If I May

I
We teach others to pray
We show kids how to play
With kindness, another way
Even when they walk away
In immaturity: "Love him? No way!"

II
We meditate on peace, we preach it
The world is not ready, do we ditch it?
America reviews texts, history, politics
To make peace in the Middle East
There's enough room here to dream these
Aurobindo's dream is 73 years at least
So prithee, How are we ready for love - &
"Internationalism must come from above"?
