PoemsThe wonder of paradise
A wondering world,
Striking of blue water crystals
Green shelters upon land,
Oh! man late Earth calls.
Glittering pearl of the universe,
Thousand years of proud historical resource,
Hello man, where are you?
With peace, unity, love and kind.
A last! The wondering paradise devour,
As human mind developed,
Hello man, what cause your neighbours?
They doom under ghostly spiritual force.
Now mire crave is with me,
Oh! man call for your humanity,
Intelligence, please help me,
Death please show the reality.

Friendship....
A friend is like a flower,
A rose to be exact,
Or may be like a brand new gate
That never come unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
Both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
Whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart goes,
Strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world,
If we didn't have a friend.

Dreams
Dreams are remarkable
Everyone has a dream
They are like stars
That brighten our life
Courage and determination
Are essential to achieve
The dream I possess
To make my life a success.

I like to be...
I like to be a water drop,
To flow in a river,
When it flows into the sea,
My life is over.
I like to be a paddy seed,
Where women cook me and my friends,
When people eat us deliciously,
My life is over.
I like to be a star in the sky,
Which lights automatically,
But when the sun rises,
My life is over.
Rather than be,
A water drop, paddy seed,
Or a star in the sky,
I like to be myself!

Living in peace
Starts with our hearts,
Not from our heads,
Sharing of wisdom,
And kindness.
Absence of violence,
Lots of silence,
Free from grief,
And sadness.
Forgives, forget and smile,
Be kind, peaceful and gentle,
Fill the world with love,
And happiness.
Living in peace,
Like a growing seed,
Peace is the way,
Where we are equal,
And make this world a better place.
