Floating embodiment
of grace
and spirit of the good!
O, world, drowning in self,
see,
know,
understand,
learn
and do likewise
- with a smile
- or a life.
All of us
rich or poor
should, must
and, most of all, can.
It’s easy.
All we need
is a heart,
a mind
and a compass.
The choice is yours and mine
with every breath
we receive
with or without gratitude.
Come, world, let us take hands,
not arms.
Let us bask in our blessings
and invest them
in a world
worthy of our children.
Masakhani.
Let us build a ship together
and call it World Mercy
and steer it towards
the sunrise.

Mercy is the quality that we all need, and need to show to one another. Just a lovely, sweet and elegant poem. Thak you.
