Unity Prelude:An International confrence opening speech;You are all welcome to this occasion,when we will be looking into One but will need a two or three to go with it; Birds can't fly with one wing We are cleavage to Unity We are brought before the table To discuss not for discord A Clarion call which comes through all time;No more Jew,No more gentile.Multiplicity of Multiformity We turn our backs to it We kiss in togetherness The stage is set for peace to reign. Symmetry of Conformity This is good in unity We shouldn't embrace variegation We are blowing hot ventilation "A Bad Peace is better" "A good war is worse" Let the statesman teaches us Plebians should do the same Once we learn from each other Unity will come to stay. Ants built castle in oneness Let us provide for ourselves This will prove our love Then our problem will be solved. BY:Alo Anthony (SAGE) +09069405879 @Aloanthonysage_instagram.
