A Poem: .. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..-
By Fuolao
Let the world stop bathing in blood.
Let men stop shouting, pushing, and killing.Let April usher in the best season.
Let the cuckoos sing.
Let children read a book.
Let all flowers bear fruit.
Let people fall in love with one another.
Let their hearts beat in Morse Code -
"I love you."
