Pastoral Reflections

[Setting: A serene meadow, two shepherds, Theo and Leo, tend to their flock]

Theo:
Gentle breeze rustles the grasses
Softly swaying, a soothing melody
As we tend to our flock, I ponder
The meaning of life, and love's mystery
In this tranquil scene, I find my peace

Leo:
Yet, amidst beauty, darkness lurks
Injustices, and social ills that plague
Our world, a stark contrast to this meadow
We must not forget, the struggles beyond

Theo:
Indeed, my friend, we must stay aware
And use our voices, to speak out against
The wrongs that afflict, our fellow humans
And strive for a world, where all can thrive
In balance with nature, our hearts can heal
