FOR A BETTER WORLD

I could be a star sending sparkles,

But better be a candle in the dark.

I could be a flower spreading fragrance,

But better be a camphor in holy prayers.

I could be a wave making its move,

But better be a ship taking its crew.

I could be a brand new friendship band,

But better be the true promises kept in heart.

I could be a tree reaching great heights,

But better be the shade it shares.

I could be a fountain in the park,

But better be the rain in a desert.

I could be a great Thinker or Philosopher,

But better be a good-hearted human being.
