In This Chaos Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

In this chaos
I would, you set in the rain to soak
In all the day's struggles
I would, you walked in the rain
Splashing through puddles with little care
In all the mistrust there is all around you
I would, you listened to the spattering of the raindrops
In the world full of misfortunes
I would, you found within you a place of quiet and comfort
In this care free world
I would, you listened to the judgement of your own heart
In these days of avarice
I would, you tamed your own appetite
In these times of hate and war
I would, you preached love from the conviction of your own heart
In these times of disloyalty
I would, you were loyal to the spiritual convictions of your own heart
