Greet the unhappy face,
with a beautiful smile.

Treat the scorched ears,
with the jingle of rhapsody.

Feed the desiccated heart,
with the fountain of love.

Extinguish the darkness,
with the lamp of perception.

Heal the sore of the wounded,
with the balm of compassion.

Escort the estranged soul,
with the cohort of hope.

Solve the violent problem,
with a non-violent solution.

Bathe the desert of malice,
with the dew of harmony.

Chop the branches of woe
with the sickle of laughter.

Enshroud the smoggy mind,
with the luminous rays of humanity.

Demolish the mansion of falsehood,
with the bull-dozer of truth.

Add meaning to your life,
by subtracting the egos one by one.

Paint the canvas of your dreams,
with the blood of your sweat
for you are
the Picasso of your own life.
