All human love their own race,
All human love themselves,
A man might be traitor to his race,
If he loves himself more than he loves his race,
Still, it doesn’t mean he has no love for his race but others,
Remember, human is human,
And all human love their own race.


A Love of Patriot

All human love their own race,
All human love themselves,
A man might be traitor to his race,
If he loves himself more than he loves his race,
Still, it doesn’t mean he has no love for his race but others,
Remember, human is human,
And all human love their own race.

Love, we like to say we love our family,
We like to say, we love our people,
And our nation,
But, we don’t want to love our family,
If they turn out not to be the way we want them to be,
We don’t want to love our own people,
If they turn out not to be the way we want them to be,
Yes, we love them,
We love them the way we want them to be,
We can’t love them the way they are,
Shall we say this “we love them” or,
Shall we say this “we want them to be like this or that”,
This doesn’t mean Love but Lust,
Love them just the way they are,
Accept them with love when you can’t agree with them,
Correct them with love when you can’t accept.

Love, love your enemies,
As they are not your enemies forever,
But you might still have to kill them,
Because if you do not kill them,
They will kill you as you are their enemy as well,
Still, it doesn’t mean that you need to hate them,
It is only love that you can win their hearts,
Without winning their hearts you can never win a War on them,
As Sun Tzu said “You can never win the enemy,
Unless they allow you to win them”,
It is only with love that we can win them,
Marn tried to win us with hate,
You see, they never got success,
Although we might get weaker,
We’ll still never bow our heads to them,
And they will never win our hearts,
You might need to kill your enemy,
But it doesn’t mean that,
You need to hate them.

Warrior, yes, you are Warrior,
Or you might be a Warrior,
If you are a Warrior without Love,
The most you can be, is only the most wicked man,
And the most cruel man,
Only a Warrior with Love,
Can be a Great Warrior,
The Warrior whom people always remember,
The Warrior who is always in the hearts of others.

A Wise man, yes, you are a Wise man,
But a Wise man without Love,
Is just a victim of his own trap of Wisdom,
Just like an old tree which never dies in a desert,
Only a Wise man with Love,
Will gain respect and recognition of others.

A Knowledgeable man, yes, you are a Knowledgeable man,
But a Knowledgeable man without Love,
Is just like an old book that nobody wants to read,
Just the best book which can never attract the readers,
Only a Knowledgeable man with Love,
Will be considered by others to be noble.

Yes, you are a Warrior,
You are a Wise man,
And you are a Knowledgeable man,
Or whoever you are,
With Love, you will succeed
Without Love, you will fail.

If you are sick of the word “Love”,
I say here,
It means, you do not understand,
The “Love” that I would like to mean,
Without this Love,
You can never get strength,
Without strength,
You can never get to your aim,
As the national task can’t be done by you alone,
But with the strength of people,
With the strength of your loving people,
With the strength of your loving family.

DON”T LOVE THEM AS THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO BE,
AS THIS WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR FAILURE AND DISAPPOINTMENT.

LOVE THEM AS THEY ARE,
AS THIS WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR GOAL.
( This poem is, in the praise to all our Tai who love Tai and are working for Tai, wishing you all be to your success )
