15 Lyrical Limericks about Peace and Harmony

The road to cool, calm and collected tranquility is not a straight and simple line. If it were, a lot more of us would have probably already arrived there by now. To me, it seems more like a game of hot and cold. Sometimes we feel it and sometimes we don’t.

With any luck, this collection of 15 limericks about peace and harmony will help you feel better about the world and more connected to those around you. I wish it were as simple as popping two limericks and calling me in the morning. Instead, it’s more about patience, tolerance and acceptance.

I don’t claim to have the answers, but poetry does a lot to soothe my soul. I hope you’ll enjoy it as well. Whether you find peace through meditation, religious worship, walking in the woods, or true love, we all have our own ways. And ultimately, it’s about mutual understanding and respecting those differences that make each of us unique.

Peace on earth is still a long way off, but the limericks are right here at your finger tips.

Peaceful Limericks to heal the human race

     Right Mindfulness
     Respect the true source and you surely will hear it
     Only the wicked have reason to fear it
               To obtain inner peace
               Just learn to release
     And never forget to be mindful in spirit

     Random Acts
     The random performance of kindness
     Has never been known to cause blindness
               So make someone smile
               Just once in a while
     For life is too short to be mindless

     Good and Evil
     All things on earth must receive affirmation
     Evil and good are beyond separation
               Let fate run its course
               For we share the same source
     And we’re all the result of a single creation

     Judge Not
     No matter how lowly a creature may sink
     Into the swamp of corruption and stink
               Don’t rush to take sides
               For the line that divides
     Is probably thinner than most of us think

     The Omega Point
     According to custom what rises converges
     To one single point from a wide range of searches
               But I saw them unravel
               While building in Babel
     Just look at the number of disparate churches

     Vipassana
     Meditation’s a method for clearing the air
     A portable practice to take anywhere
               Let go of your thought
               And all you’ve been taught
     As you breathe in the light and dissolve into prayer

     The Force in Balance
     The cosmos consists of a delicate force
     Through which every action will run its due course
               When goodness prevails
               It can alter the scales
     For all that we do makes it better or worse

     Prophecy of the Ephemeral
     There are days for good reason and times for insanity
     A season for prudence and hours of inanity
               But all things are passing
               And nothing is lasting
     So don’t be misled by what’s verily vanity

     Presence
     You want to live better you want to know how
     Ask me the way and I’ll show you the tao
               The core of this teaching
               Is not about reaching
     But learning to listen and dwell in the now

     Parental Pantheon
     Bow to the Earth and retreat from the Sky
     A mother and father that none can deny
               Love it or fear it
               Acknowledge the spirit
     Who brings us so low and propels us so high

     Sum of our Parts
     Picture a puzzle with eight billion pieces
     Sisters and brothers and nephews and nieces
               Separate, however
               Belonging together
     Connect them and see how the kindness increases

     Genesis 2:24
     We start with a family till time comes for leaving
     Then search for a partner for comfort and cleaving
               Through cycles and seasons
               Each bond has its reasons
     A union engendered by lovers believing

     Achievement
     On the road to success you don’t have to go far
     No need to ascend to the outermost star
               But the prize you can win
               Will arrive deep within
     When you learn to accept people just as they are

     Growing and Knowing
     When you empty your mind you can feel it expanding
     Over the clouds where the angels are landing
               Beyond the confusion
               Of noise and illusion
     And into the peace that exceeds understanding

     Alan Watts
     The wizened and wise one the good Dr. Watts
     Draws elegant strings from a bundle of knots
               Like waves on the sea
               That can lift you and me
     On the singular ocean the source of all thoughts
