ALL THE WORLDS' A CLASSROOM NOT A STAGE

All the world’s not a stage,

With apologies to my dear pal, Shakespeare

All of us are not merely actors

With apologies to my pal, never fear; fear

We learn our lessons together

Though at different stages of learning be

Learning to love you, my brother

And forever really loving be

All the world’s but a big class room

As known to a few including my Lord, My Teacher

All of us are just average students

All of us including the zealous preacher

Shun hatred of the despised and hated

Leave behind evil and wicked jealousy

Learn to be conscious with breath bated

Thereby learning to live in complete harmony

All the world is not full of characters

But with serious minded students filled

All of us are mere dumb learners

All at different stages of learning, skilled

Then we to higher classes promoted

Walk hand in hand to our destiny

The evil are then demoted

Wallowing in their own vanity

All the world’s not a stage,

With apologies to my dear pal, Shakespeare

This is the right time and age

The voices beckon in a whisper……
