THE WORLD IS GETTING OVER-CROWDED (A POEM)

The world is getting over-crowded

With people, ideas and ideologies

That we do not always welcome.

Religions, Denominations, thoughts,

Legion are they to our comfort,

Our way of life and concepts.

But all have a right to live

And to life as we believe we have.

“Rights of Man” applies to all.

We might wish everyone were like we,

But that’s a pious wish that’ll remain so

Till the end of time we inhabit this planet.

Tolerance is the best way

To live and let everyone live;

Change is only a choice,

Cannot be enforced by law

Unless one’s lifestyle is a threat

To social peace and well-being.

So let us espouse this gospel,

You are not the salt of the Earth.

You are Atlas to this world; bear up.
