K. Benway: Here's a wonderful poem written by Felix Akicho from Homa Bay in Kenya Africa on the shores of Lake Victoria
We use not guns, we use a hoe
We drop not bombs, but seeds we sow
We don't kill, we make things grow
We don't pretend, we are what we show
We wage not war with our fellow mankind
But with their affliction in body, heart and mind
Poverty, ignorance, apathy and despair
To destroy these things we will dare
Our heart is for the people and the earth
We see them for what they're really worth
Setting all the energies we have in motion
Towards single-minded devotion
We are a few persons in this existence
But as focused rays of light are intense
And can burn a really big hole
Such is the greatness of the human soul
We are warriors for the greater good
Yearning for a loving brotherhood
Across the world with hearts unfurled
We can make this real in our world
We call upon all the people alive:
Do you just want to survive or to thrive?
With your life you can make a difference
One that will last ages and ages hence
What you choose and what you say
They really matter a lot
Show us your answer to this today :
Do you want to change the world or not?
We ask you this, our friend
What will be your life's end?
What will you make of your biography?
What will you have given to humanity?
We challenge you while you still have time
In this short life of ours and thine
For your own generation and the children
Make a difference... you'll thank me then
Get involved. Take a chance. Make change.
