This should be everyone's duty to maintain peace and harmony. A nice poem indeed. To quote from the poem. 'Of which I have no answer - only this That we should engender harmony Between the shadow and the soul And share our secret selves in love. '..is beautiful. Congrats on being selected poem of the day. '
