Not With Pride 2 Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Life, strife!
With the wickedness of mankind on earth;

Stride, side, ride!
With the tide of life.

Aside,
Not with pride! But with righteous morals;

The smile!
To see the face of the bride;

Nile, mile!
While in love with the truth.

The fragrance of life,
With the romance of nature;

With your works,
With your words,

Facing the world! !
Not with pride.

Your wife,
Not to hurt her with your knife;

Keeping up with life,
Keeping up with the truth;

Life's journey,
Ways and means;

According to your works,
According to your muse,

But let Wisdom arise! ! !
To teach us the truth.

Muse, use, fuse!
Not to refuse the truth;

The works of the truth,
The light of peace and love;

Bright light!
Right with your mind;

Doing the right thing,
Without hurting anyone.

The delight of righteous morals,
The insight of creation,

The sight of all the colours around!
The flight with the joy of your heart.

Hear my voice,
Make a better choice in life;

On a mission,
With your vision;

Views around the world! !
With servitude and attitude;

With the gratitude of the truth,
Comforting the hearts of the people around you.

Train your mind with love,
Bring joy to your heart with the truth,

Accepting all mankind without racism;
For the peace of the world.

Words and works,
Words of peace and love than hatred and war!

To care for the people,
Sharing with all mankind with the joy of your heart.

Bring joy to my heart! !
Teach me the truth;

Colours of life!
We need peace than war.

Stride, ride!
Not with pride;

The tide of life,
Hope is the key with the muse of righteous characters.
