"THE ARK" - A poem by Alex.

The ARK
Poem by Alex

The whole point is Peace

How to achieve
-and maintain- Peace?

How?


With much love for Human Beings

Having lots of Love
in our Hearts.

Loving your neighbor,
Our similar
Loving actually
Truly


Admiring the differences.
Welcoming the different.
Praising diversity.

Diversity is Strength

Diversity is the great strength of Brazil.

The Union of all races, colors and faiths happens in Brazil.

Unity in diversity.


All religious beliefs
Are represented
And contained
Within Brazil

Brazil is a microcosm
containing
the whole Universe
in miniature.

Brazil is the great Ark
Here are
representatives
of all peoples on Earth.

Whites, blacks and Indians
Japanese, Portuguese and Italian
Spaniards, Germans, Poles
Indigenous peoples
Arabs, Turks, Lebanese
Jews
Koreans

Our homeland
is the great mother
that welcomes children
of all peoples

Bahia is a piece
Of Africa in Brazil
The Amazon
is the great
biological and genetic
heritage of
Humanity.
His native peoples
Keep precious traditions

The South of the country
is a piece
Of Europe in Brazil

The southeast creates
technical and technological
advance

The sertanejo people is strong
The Northeast is the home
Of the rich northeastern culture
and courageous people


Brazil is a beautiful
And precious diamond
Multifaceted.
All of its faces
reflect the brightness
and the splendor
of mankind


Brazil is the great Ark

From here it will come
the People of Tomorrow
The inhabitants of the future
Which will rebuild
And recolonize
This World

After this
(Pseudo) civilization crumble
victim of his own greed,
and excessive materialism
A new world will be born


A world of Peace, Love and Union


The Wisdom of the Earth
will manifest itself
Within the hearts of all men

This is the ultimate destiny
ineluctable
Inescapable

The Light of the Truth will shine
Towering and alive
Clear and crystalline
Indisputable


It will not be possible to
"Cover the sun with a sieve"

There will be Love for all
and each beings of Earth

We will Value life
And Respect Nature

Living in harmony with the Earth
With the heart of Mother Earth
Pulsing along the pulse
Of cosmic time

Air, water and land will be cleaned
Impurities will be removed,
From the environment
Hearts
and minds of men

Harmful chemicals
Will be banned
and not used

Purification of all
the petty thoughts,
feelings and  attitudes

Renewal of Values.
The end of Selfishness.

The Appreciation of Life
and the Other

All life is sacred.
All human lives are precious
and sacred
As well as the lives
of all plants
animals and living beings.

Life will be respected
As the masterpiece of God

Trees and forests will be praised
As temples of the Great Spirit

The rivers shall be loved and cared
As sources of water and life

Humans will be loved and cared

Children, of all social classes
will be loved and cared

Young people will be instructed
And oriented in the Way of Good
And Service to Others

Schools will teach
The values ​​of Love
Compassion,
Charity
Philosophy, reflection
Arts and Music

There will be no more people
sleeping on the streets
picking up litter
or starving

All people will have
water, food and bread
There shall be Justice for all


The world will be redeemed


The human potential
Of Heart and Mind
Vast, Precious
and Priceless
Once asleep,
Will be manifested


Paradise shall be at last
Blessed
We shall be, all of us
Who will live to see


Namaste
The God in me
Welcomes
The God in you.
