Daily Prompts: Seven Wonders

Khalil Gibran once said that people will never understand one another unless language is reduced to seven words. What  would your seven words be?

Khalil Gibran was a smart man, he knew people will never understand each other, if there was:

My seven words are:

1. Love
2. Tolerance
3. Equality
4. Compassion
5. Considerate
6. Cooperative
7. Peace

DP Daily Prompt: First Light

Remember when you wrote down the first thought you had this morning? Great. Now write a post about it.

First Light: This morning I woke up thinking ‘oh shoot’! I have not done my assignment yet. Most participants have completed and published their replies and now breathing a sigh of relief.

I am probably the only one who did not get my work done. The topic is such I have nightmares thinking about it. I know I can write it if I spend some time organizing my thoughts and then write my reply.

This morning I told myself this is ridiculous, I have to at least attempt it, good or bad once I get it done, I’ll be stress free.

I wrote it, I was aiming at proving lack of equality in certain places and why there is so much chaos there.

I’m feeling great I know no matter how difficult the task was the fact I managed to complete it, I deserve a pat on my back!

‘The Wasp and the Honeybee’

For this tiny honeycomb,

you are boasting so much!

My dear brother, come hither,

show me a better one before I leave.

‘Dwelling Place’

Announced the mango tree to the creeping tree,one day,

We were all equal in this green forest;

man has brought with him his own taste__

now the distinction has begun, equality comes to an end.

‘Necessity of Relationship’

Money (Photo credit: 401(K) 2012)

Beggar’s bundle remarked  hey money bag,

how can you forget we are related?

Money bag uttered, you would have done the same

if the money was in your bundle and not in mine.
