A Rhymed Reflection
When Nonkilling Peace becomes a global human power
Everyday living will change into a most beautiful flower
When cooperation becomes a global human quality
In East and West, human relations will rise in dignity
When decency inspires human global education
Ethics will climb to the highest humanizing elevation
