Didactic Poem

Didactic poem



Searching God
Be kind to His souls,
Temple bells will ring,
Hymns breeze will sing!

Unsaid love
Unless you share,
Longings will not end,
and passion will pretend !

Selfishness
When surfaces,
Bitterness will be high,
and relationships will die !

Greed 
Never enough for need,
Will let you down,
Humanity will drown !

Knowledge 
Sharpens the mind,
Glows with each sunrise,
and we are witty and wise !
