Earth’s soil fertilized

artificial poppies grow

in human blood, bones

Fallen in battle 

 It’s time for falling in love

Soul’s soil fertilized

One of the reasons I follow the Baha’i World Faith:

“To be a Bahá’í simply means to love all the world; to love humanity and try to serve it; to work for universal peace and universal brotherhood.” ‘

Abdu’l-Bahá
