       Poem    

  Join in the Effort to Make a Healthy World

*   Our world is made up of families;
    Some are poor and some, wealthy.
    For majority to be healthy
    Don’t take it as just a blessing.

                                            Think and Seek the Answer

          *   Hard drugs, have only done harm
              To all humanity in this world
              For which reason, our ancestors
              Throughout Myanmar
              Have seriously curbed and prevented
              As evidence clearly shows.
