Hard but not unkind,
yes, you are tough,
you are tough on humankind,
but you are soft and there is love in your eyes,
and you choose your words wisely,
and you brave the toughest of times,
and you walk the Earth with your brilliant mind,
you walk mediating and trying to calm the fires,
and the explosions caused by misunderstanding,
that flare up from out of nowhere,
and that always threaten to envelope,
and overshadow humanity,
for there is such insanity,
such insanity,
and it drives you mad,
it drives you mad to see,
that there are not people,
with calmer heads,
in these times,
but you,
you with your diplomacy,
can soothe the fieriest of people,
people who with their hot-headed ways,
will start wars anyway,
and so many deaths,
will soon follow,
and so much sorrow,
but with your diplomatic ways,
I admire you,
and the lives that you will save,
because war,
takes more time than talking,
and talking,
talking is much better than war,
so, why can there not be,
more common sense,
and decency and civility,
and you will I am sure,
save more lives,
and of the likes of you,
I wish there were more.
