Peace in the crowd

In the throngs of life, peace resides.
Heed the wisdom of ancestors' stride.
Their hearts spoke truths, words flowed free,
Like rivers wild, their voices be.

Look around, signs abound,
In present lives, lessons are found.
Know them, learn, and teach with care,
Our heritage, our story, our children's share.

Religion's path, a guiding light,
Not a deceit, but a beacon bright.
It shines the way, through life's darkest night,
Illuminating truths, and setting hearts alight.

Many lost, in darkness roam,
Far from national pride's sweet home.
Not your fault, but guides astray,
Leading blind, down a winding way.

Beware the wolf in sheep's disguise,
True leaders forge, with wisdom's eyes.
They guide with heart, and soul so bright,
Lighting the path, through life's plight.

Arrogance may hide a truth profound,
Yet wisdom's path, is peace unbound.
Keep eyes open, hearts awake,
In the crowd's heart, peace you'll make.
