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 thy brother
And forever 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 students
All of us including the preacher

Shun hatred of the hated
Leave behind evil & wicked jealousy
Learn to be with breath bated
Learning to live in harmony

All the world is not full of characters
But with serious minded students filled
All of us are mere learners
All at different stages of learning, skilled

Then we to higher levels 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 stage and age
The voices beckon in a whisper……
