Just Love

 

If only we love others

our world will turn into paradise.

People will walk side by side

enjoying happiness

respect and help.

Dreams will be painted in gold.

Deeds will be only for a good cause.

Wars will end.

Hostilities will not exist.

Welfare will be attainable

for everyone.

If only we love others

we can follow the path of virtue

instead of vice.

Greek Language

 

Oh! Greek language!

The flower

of elegant words

that philosophers used to ponder!

The means

by which the scenery is depicted

and human life is portrayed!

The voice

which carries wisdom and knowledge!

The veil

through which letters travel

to find sentence destinations!

Oh! Greek language!

You resemble

a beacon

an ancient goddess in gold

a hidden treasure

that transmits tradition and culture

all over the world!
