True peace flows
In the middle path.
In between the extremes
Of nature is the path.
Extreme states create vulnerability
For the very strength of rigidity
Is in its ability to structure into solidity.
But solidity may not quantify solidarity.
Shaping matter to form
Is prone to creating cracks
In the spaces between shapes,
And gaps are prone to fragility.
To thrive in the optimum
Is to value continuum,
Which brings adaptability
Along with acceptability.
Our beautiful world,
This ball of blue,
Has much at stake
In these times of vulnerability.
Our nations may play on
With tactics and goodwill,
Balancing acts in deliberation,
Taking much into consideration.
To reach out,
To stay put,
To align,
To withdraw
For extreme states
Are a weakness in itself.
Extreme power by itself
Is a very dangerous tool,
Denoting self-destruction
As much as calamity in chaos.
The solution is thus,
Steering into the middle path.
When a structure gets too rigid,
Allow spaces for destressing.
When situations become hostile,
Breathe in to empathize.
When a war of words ensues,
Consider the art of negotiation.
For it is never bullets that truly win;
It is the people who do.
Steer into the path of peace.
Allay fears and acknowledge the futility
Of living in the extremes.
Tread in awareness of the middle path.
Peace is not won in battles.
Peace reigns in the heart of man.
Make way for the inner light to step out.
Let peace and goodwill guide the way!
Savvy
