The whole humanity now knows
You are wiser than your rider
Who without provocation head-butted you
In the glare of Klieg-light
And the whole wide world.
The world now knows
That you are more cultivated, cultured and civilized
Than your rider who without caring
Threw civility and decorum to the wind.
Without doubt, he showed he, and not you was
A helpless creature, a mere child
In the hands of ungovernable temper.
The world admires you for bearing
That unwarranted aggression with equanimity.
You showed strength, while your rider
Showed crass weakness,
You showed self-restraint, maturity and universal altruism
And by your example you showed the world
That non-violence is the only path to peace in our world
If all humanity and all creatures were to live
Together in peace and in harmony with one another
Even Gandhi would have been proud of you were he alive.
Had Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas
Shown such an unparalleled restraint,
The Middle East would not be
The field of blood that it is today.
Had the US and Britain not lapsed into
Conspiratorial etcetera in the resolution
Of the war between Israel and Hezbollah
That senseless war would have ceased long ago.
Worthy ambassador of your family,
By not fighting back, you have said
To all belligerent human beings in
Every race and clime, “You fool”!
