We Can Do Better Than Us Poem by Tendekai Mugonda

Like a flower which needs a little ray of sunlight.
Is like the soul of a man which needs light.
Change has come and goes, but still we forget what is right.
Is what we agree upon that which is right or what is sacred
No matter how free we call ourselves we will always be dependent.
Knowledge says no man is an island.
But wisdom whispers to us that it is better to prosper in silence.
Yet we make a lot of noise impoverishing ourselves in violence.
Being wise does not start in mind but in the heart.
For God does not knock were life is not kept intact.
It's like every heart beat is like his gentle knock on our hearts.
