Non-violence, their common thread
In this world so full of drama
I ventured to see the Dalai Lama,
so many problems filled me with dread.
He said breathe deep and let it go,
from your head down to your toe, and
offered me a piece of manna bread..
The wise man shared the bond
between Dr. King and Thich Nhat Hahn,
although these spiritual teachers are now dead..
From different religions that's for sure, the
persecutions they endured, yet non-violence
was always their common thread..
Happy Birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King
