Precious Peace

Of course, it feels great to be understood
but even when some are not, let them be
not whining but silent in gratitude
instead of craving for felicity!
  

What good might come when you are recognized
after struggling hard for becoming so,
toiling through prolonged days and sleepless nights?
Can love be spontaneous when it is sought?
  

So let us rather not yearn for the light
of approval and acceptance at all
but follow what conscience endorsed as right
and love, just for the love of human souls!
  

Precious peace will not be found through an arcane trick
but in the courage to offer the other cheek!
