The God of Peace (Repeat)

"Poem Highlights"

"The God of Peace is always busy.

He is too busy to look in a mirror

and blow his horn everyday.

The God of Peace's horn makes everyone happy.



The God of Peace is always busy.

He is too busy to look in a mirror

and scatters magical water.

The magical water creates green mountains,

ripens crops, and makes flower gardens grow.



The God of Peace is always busy.

He is too busy to look in a mirror

and gives everyone a name.



'Your name is Otto.'



'Your name is Hans.'



'Your name is Thomas.'



'Your name is...Johan.'



Johan gave his hat to the god as a gift in return.

The god was very happy.

Because he wanted to see himself wearing the hat

he stood in front of a mirror for the first time.



However what he saw in the mirror was a devil.

The devil spoke to him.



'I am you...and you are me.'  [said the devil in the mirror]



'Oh, no.  [said the God of Peace]

No one can live in peace with a devil like this!

What should I do?  What should I do?!'



So, the troubled god..."



{Do you all know what the god did next?}
