Devotional Poetry

World Citizen: To Dr Sheil bushrui

World Citizen:
To Dr. Sheil Bushrui

"Which country do you like the most?"
"The one in which I am when this question is asked!"

World Citizen:
The hall mark isn't love of country,
but love of kind.
Mother country isn't a place,
it's a state of mind.

To become a refugee once is unfortunate,
to become a refuge twice is...

Three time s a refugee,
is there symbolic meaning
in this reality?

"Peace is not an issue of signing treaties."

Peace is an issue of survival!
We are all stranded together
upon this island of Earth,
if peace isn't achieved by common accord,
we will each die separate miserable deaths.

Poet's Note: ▼

I wrote this sometime in 147 B.E. It was inspired by listening to a talk by Dr. Bushrui. The lines italicized and in quotation marks are quotes from Dr. Bushrui's talik.
