World day preservation of Soul
There's a day for everything in this world.
everyone in some way wants to be reminded
And honored - with flowers and cards, etc.
They move trade, alavancam business,
Strengthen Ngos, therefore celebrate parents,
mothers, grandparents, friends and also countries,
Gifts of nature, professionals.
There's a day for everything.
Less day of the soul.
I propose that day!
There will be opposition.
Some will say, no profit!
Others will say that soul does not exist,
Everything is simply the matter,
Neurons, natural process.
Religion, will say followers of atheism,
From chairs and party cells.
How to celebrate the day of something that doesn't exist?
The will attract political
In Christian vote: Let's go, official
The day of the soul as a national holiday.
There will be even marches for that day.
Processions, tracks:
We want soul day in everyone!
North Korea will ban, threatening
With Warheads to imperialist subversion.
Others will say, " anarchist poet"
Muslim radicals will say
That there is only soul in Islam.
I will say that soul has no color,
Sob a ira da-Klux-klux-klan.
I will say that the soul is the universal good,
It transcends borders, languages and sects.
In view of the uproar created,
I propose that each
Celebrate your own soul - every day!
Do something for the health and soul of your neighbor,
Whoever he is, wherever he is,
Wherever it is.
Celebrate with prayer of gratitude
To the Giver of souls.
He plays with the kids from his condo.
Be the father of a starving child of bread and affection,
On the corner or another continent.
Donate to doctors without borders,
Serve a decent table for those who have no bread.
Be less selfish because selfishness is poison
to soul and fills with opportunistic reason
From Congress, Executive &
"Revoiutionaries".
Be a soul taking care of other souls,
In your office, pulpit, classroom, hospital duty, market, the fair, in the dark.
Wherever it is, even from the window of your house,
waving and speaking with sympathy
In your neighborhood, day care, on the street,
Traveling salesman.
Celebrate your soul, from all your heart.
It celebrates the soul of the world,
taking care of the waters, the birds, forests,
the garden of the city.
Celebrate the soul of the earth, fight for the purity
of the air that everyone breathes.
Celebrate your soul!
She is your eternal life!
Only survivor after passage
Fleeting of human adventure.
