An entry in the 2015 Rivers Award
for Writing on Peace & Harmony

I was told
Not to steal
Someone’s property

I was told
Not to admire
My brother’s wife

I was told
Not to disobey
Elders’ instructions

I was told
Not to be lazy
Work harder to earn

I was told
Not to con
Be honest and reliable

I was told
Not to be arrogant
Be humble and genuine

I was told
Not to cause trouble
Be a peace maker
