The world weep. A prayer and words.

Prayers and words

                                Everybody knows. Part two.

"What peace can be, where both to one pretend."   John Dryden

"This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the words end.
Not with a bang but a whisper"     T.S Eliot

I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.   Herbert Hoover quotes  

Bloodshed is touching us in all places. The children are being murdered for the cause of religion, hate and separation. I don't know what fuel a man to kill children and teachers? The wars is over.  I believe time for USA to come home. You can't save the world with soldiers, guns and bombs. Send food, water and medicine. If no-one armed the terrorist. Maybe the violence can end.

Need the unity of the world to demand the murder and violence to stop. This world must stop and recheck place and reason for where we are. Israel must be the example. Set-up true goals of peace. Share the land like it had been for 10,000 years.

Matthew 18:10, ESV See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Beware of the prayer of the victim of an injustice, for there is no barrier between him and Allah Almighty.

When you see a coffin passing by stand up (out of respect) whether it is a Muslim or a non-Muslim.

Rasulullah (SAW) 

                               The world weeps

A billion people in this world stopped and held silence and weeps for children and teachers  killed in Pakistan. Beloved children and people murdered leaving a sadness that had expanded to the four corners of our world.

I have little to give to people who lost their children and family members. I can only  pray they can find peace from their heartache some day. Children should not know war and fear.

Once vibrant children and teachers. Sang their song and danced with us upon the earth.  I pray they found a better place. I pray they are in the hands of the kind Gods of their belief.

I weeps for them. I saw their faces and it broke my heart. Now Pakistan must stand strong and the people become one. Every life is a light of life needed and when lost by violence and murder. Leave us with regret and great sadness.

The world weeps for the children and teachers in Pakistan. I pray for their poor families and I pray we do not allow this to happen again.

Children are the wealth of the country. We must protect and teach them well. Please remember the families of strangers who had lost everything. Thank you for reading.

The peshawar incident left me dumbstruck. I was just watching TV and news flash=you get this horrible news. There should be some way to put an end to this thoughtless acts of pride. I really tip my hat to you! You
made an effort to put this topic infront of te readers. Kudos indeed to you.Arms down for world peace

[Coyote Poetry]

Heal/Not kill. Forgive/not hold hate. Should be easy. Hard to do. A eye for a eye world will leave us in a bad place. I pray we learn soon. One earth and one people. Thank you Sophy for reading and the comment.

I have to disagree with the Eisenhower quote - I hate war as both a refugee and a civilian in a war zone probably equally, if not more than the soldiers who served here.

But having said that - this is a fantastic collage of art
If the world were full of CPs then we wouldnt be writing things like this - there'd be no need.
Well done

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Anto. I appreciate the comment. I agree with you. I was involved in feeding and supplying water to refugees in Asia and Africa. The poor and the homeless pay for the hate of wealth, greed of land and wanting separation.

[ANTO]

So much pain in this world - I wonder if its truly getting worse or if we just have access to more news - either way its a sorry state of affairs. You are a good man CP!

War cannot bring peace. We can't hate people into becoming peaceful.The root issue needs to be recognised. A thoughtful piece.

[Coyote Poetry]

Time to talk of peace. Not of hate. A scary world my friend. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

With all of our amazing machines and technology, we still behave, acting on
archaic impulses. The senseless mistreatment of people in this world must stop
if we are to have any hope for the future. Thank your for this rally of peace.
You are doing a service to mankind.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. I can't give up. I'm old. We must leave something for the kids. Thank you for reading and the comment. I hope you are having a good Christmas day and a safe and fun New Year day.

My prayer is the same Ameen .The world must unite for peace not for violence and tournaments a lot of people regularly go through ..

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. I hope this world learn soon.

[Einstein Noodle]

horrific acts beyond any semblance of reason .. the condemnation of them is a no brainer yet some will continue to refuse ..these people commit vicious and brutal atrocities on anyone .. they do not care about the value of life nor do they care about who they murder .. and they believe they are doing God's work .. unfortunately the only thing they will listen to are the sounds of return gunfire ..

You are right. Violence demands more violence. Who will win in the end? Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Ken Simm.]

If they can laugh again sometime perhaps it will be something. It is not my place or intention to talk about the structure of this work. About the use of words and quotes. About the powerful use those words are put to. It is simply that I must say right. And stand as close as I can to the sentiments expressed.

I have a lot of our W.C poets with great heartache. Canada was attacked and thank you for a brave old timer. Stop a massacre. I don't know my friend. I will never understand how anyone could kill children and strangers? Thank you for reading and the comment.
