Thank you Ken Benway who send out this poem:
Here's a wonderful poem written by Felix Akicho from Homa Bay in Kenya Africa on the shores of Lake Victoria
We use not guns, we use a hoe
We drop not bombs, but seeds we sow
We don't kill, we make things grow
We don't pretend, we are what we show
We wage not war with our fellow mankind
But with their affliction in body, heart and mind
Poverty, ignorance, apathy and despair
To destroy these things we will dare
Our heart is for the people and the earth
We see them for what they're really worth
Setting all the energies we have in motion
Towards single-minded devotion
We are a few persons in this existence
But as focused rays of light are intense
And can burn a really big hole
Such is the greatness of the human soul
We are warriors for the greater good
Yearning for a loving brotherhood
Across the world with hearts unfurled
We can make this real in our world
We call upon all the people alive:
Do you just want to survive or to thrive?
With your life you can make a difference
One that will last ages and ages hence
What you choose and what you say
They really matter a lot
Show us your answer to this today :
Do you want to change the world or not?
We ask you this, our friend
What will be your life's end?
What will you make of your biography?
What will you have given to humanity?
We challenge you while you still have time
In this short life of ours and thine
For your own generation and the children
Make a difference... you'll thank me then
Get involved. Take a chance. Make change.

Thank you Ken Benway who send out this poem:

Here's a wonderful poem written by Felix Akicho from Homa Bay in Kenya Africa on the shores of Lake Victoria


We use not guns, we use a hoe

We drop not bombs, but seeds we sow

We don't kill, we make things grow

We don't pretend, we are what we show

We wage not war with our fellow mankind

But with their affliction in body, heart and mind

Poverty, ignorance, apathy and despair

To destroy these things we will dare

Our heart is for the people and the earth

We see them for what they're really worth

Setting all the energies we have in motion

Towards single-minded devotion

We are a few persons in this existence

But as focused rays of light are intense

And can burn a really big hole

Such is the greatness of the human soul

We are warriors for the greater good

Yearning for a loving brotherhood

Across the world with hearts unfurled

We can make this real in our world

We call upon all the people alive:

Do you just want to survive or to thrive?

With your life you can make a difference

One that will last ages and ages hence

What you choose and what you say

They really matter a lot

Show us your answer to this today :

Do you want to change the world or not?

We ask you this, our friend

What will be your life's end?

What will you make of your biography?

What will you have given to humanity?

We challenge you while you still have time

In this short life of ours and thine

For your own generation and the children

Make a difference... you'll thank me then

Get involved. Take a chance. Make change.
