It is unnatural to start a war or a fight
Ladies and gentlemen, I know that I am right
Violence solves nothing, on the contrary
Chaos or violence makes things bad and eerily.
Soldiers are people too: they are our brothers
Sisters, fathers, mothers, cousins, aunts, grandfathers
Grandmothers, relatives, friends and visitors
They need to be protected all the time and at all hours.
If you want to fight, go fight your own stupid wars
Humans must behave better than wild and mulish tigers
If you want war, go ahead to get killed like dumb boars.
Only idiots, bullies and zombies behave like vampires
Let the babies and toddlers enjoy absolute normal lives
The world needs peace, love, harmony and fresh flowers.

Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
He walks the earth, deep into the woods
Upon bare feet.
An enigma to most, for the truths he doth
Speak.
Within his sacred grove he receives,
Wisdom from its surrounding trees.
Those who seek the shaman’s wise words,
One must learn the language of the birds.
As he beats his drum to his melody sung,
Quietly, his initiate waits for him to return.
Often for days as hot embers burn.
While the shaman dances to his drum,
The initiate now is ready to be one.
Hi how are you?
Love you
Love
Lord
You were right
All along
What you said
That night
The message was strong
I'm on my own
Trust no one
Let no one in
Hide what you've done
Do whatever it takes
Sit home alone
Don't let your
Defenses down
Don't put down that wall
Look how far
You've come now
But that only means
Further to fall
When you reach that ledge
Don't hesitate
Take a deep breath
And communicate
Take a step forward
And initiate
Now jump
