Ducks and Geese
Paddlings do paddlings dee
Little ducks and geese
Baking in warm afternoon sun
Step closer, quietly and still
Viewing the ducks and the geese
By the tree
Wobblings do wobblings dee
The ducks and the geese
On the same bank of the pond
The ducks wobbling by the geese
Cleaning their wings
Minding their own things
No fighting I see!
Geese and ducks
Inches away from each other
The big geese bodies
Bully no little ducks
Comfortable the ducks are
With other kinds
Sharing space
And food
Happy they are
Different species
Paddling together in the pond
Humans are the same species
But Christians fight with Christians,
Protestants fight with Catholics
In Northern Island
In Syria
Muslims fight with Muslims
Alawites with Sunnis
In Iraq
Shias fight with Sunnis
Muslims fight with Christens
Jews fight with Muslims
Hindus fight with Muslims
Buddhists in Myanmar(Burma) fight with Muslims
Muslims fight with Buddhists
In southernThailand
And other places
What is the matter with humans?
Unashamed, killing each other
Of the same kind
Ducks and geese in Branch Brook Park Pond
Coexist with each others
Paddlings do paddlings dee
Happy they are
Wobblings do wobblings dee
With their little tiny brains
Cleverer they are than humans
Humans are
Pity do, pity dumb
Weeping do and weeping dumb

Life Is Too Short For Fighting
My mother is laughing
But I am crying
Seeing her happy face
With her brother’s daughter
They are singing
Having a good time
My mother turns
Singing songs
From when she was young
She loves to laugh out loud
Mother I miss you
My heart is aching
I wish I were there with you again
Life is so fragile
And so short
She is gone
My recording of the event
Shows her laughing and happy again
Please do not fight!!
Enjoy each other
While we are still here in the flesh
Life will not last
The ending is coming so soon
Before we know it
Regretfully we say
We wish we can go back in time
Saying to ourselves
We would do more
Laugh more
And love more
But it is too late
She is gone
Mother please laughs loader
Let me hear you once more
Syrians, Egyptians, Iraqis, and others, please do not fight or kill each other. Life is too short. It is better to spend your time being happy together for you to achieve happiness and have a meaningful life.
