POETS, WRITE ABOUT LOVE
The poets of our
Planet Earth,
The planet that
Is our only home.
You, who have
The gift from
God’s altar,
The gift for promoting lights
Of the Universe…
Poets, switch on the lights in every
Soul…
Let the lights shine to dispel this dark cloud
Towering over
Only planet.
Poets, you have
The keys to opening up
Every soul.
Write verses about Love,
Celebrate Love,
May Love bloom
In every heart.
Poets, you are
The torchbearers
Of light and Love,
You are the Leaders to
A spiritual and
Better world…
Poets, write about
Love and spread
It around,
May Love rule
The world.
