Два стихотворения "Толерантность"
Год создания: 2001

TOLERANCE


1. Yes! I felt the sun's heat absorb water from leaves,
Making them dry and brown.
And I thought I heard the wind blow the dry leaves away
But, the tree was still and never retaliated.
Instead, it grew more fresh green leaves.

2. What is that thing that gives one the ability to suffer pain?
Bearing all those hardships without throwing in the towel.
Establishing peace and democracy in a politicized world.
Making strong opposition leaders unite.
That's exactly what tolerance can offer.

3. Morose cannot make one ignorant.
But leniency brings conformity
Why make innocent people suffer because of lack of tolerance?
….Burning houses and cars,
Why cant one emulate the patient life of a mere plant?

4. Tolerance ends aggro.
Tolerance brings peace among aggressive personalities
Adults are role models to the up and coming young ones.
So why not show some maturity
By exercising tolerance.

TOLERANCE

Tolerance, Tolerance,
I am a word full of love
Love and acceptance,
Acceptance and not racism
Neither prejudice nor discrimination of any sort.
I unite but I don't bring about fights
Give me an opportunity,
And with unity and Love as my tentacles
Together with human rights, democracy and the rule of law,
As my Agents,
I'll bring peace, unity and love
By allowing people free choice of religion, expression and association,
Without criticism;
Allow me to become a household word,
And I promise, I wont let you down
Long live Tolerance!
Long live Mother Earth!!
