Peace Begins With a Smile

P- Perfection is a myth, peaceful perfection; a bold lie more so since
E- Elegance in societal behaviorism seems to dance upon the
A-Alluring notes of forgiving and forgiving with a smile, an act worth more than a
C- Cent, worth maybe a million stars in the firmament, all shining brightly
E-Eagerly meant to lift up from our moods, the many rolls of our

B- Bad temper, our own
E- Enemy, bringing to us severed ties and bad health, having us
G- Gurgling at life as desperately as would fish out of water do
I- Incapable of even finding ways and means to jump back into their
N- Natural habitat! And like them, we, mere mortals inhabiting human bodies can only
S- Snuggle upon the cozy clouds that peace gives us, regardless of the situation, as

W- Without it, both on the inner side and the outer side, we become
I- Instruments of evil, capable of bringing harm not only to ourselves but to all
T- Those who form part of our symphony; our inner universes and satellites,
H- Harboring thus, a toxic fruit which does not deserve to be there on our trees!

A - And, since a smile is so beautiful,

S- Share it with the world over, even if you see reflected back at you,
M- Mockery or even hatred, mind it not, just share a smile and you shall see,
I - It shall cause your gardens to be filled with fairies, dancing to the exalt of
L- Love revolving upon the notes of selflessness and beating to the drums of
E-Exquisite acceptance to the power that bid us all be as we are!
