Pray for peace

Pray for peace

If we are silence, against hate and war. We accepted the hateful world.

 

If we allow the wars to be fought and we believe war is far away. One day, the wars shall find your doorstep.

 

We send our young men and women to fight the old men wars.  I wish we would send the old men to fight. If we did. War would end. Once a wise man told us. “A eye for  eye world, will leave us blind.” Maybe we are blind already?

 

It is 2020 and the world had fallen backward. Just like the past. Rumors, threats and ugly words, our leaders share. Where are the peacemakers? where are the kind voices? Where are the countries that give food, water and medicine instead of guns and soldiers to nations in trouble?.

 

I burn sage for peace, for healing and I pray we learn. Every life had value. I want the children of our world to believe war and hate was myth and tale. Allow the children to dance, sing and wander our world without boundaries. Knowing no fear. Never being hated because of their skin color, their belief and where they were born.

 

ONE Earth and ONE PEOPLE

I believe as you my friend, but I am skeptical if it will happen; peace seems to elude us as we wage one war after another. It has been happening for so long that I don't think we, as mankind, even know how to be peaceful, or if we ever did.
Your words stir my spirit and I can hope, and hope again that it might happen! We are ignorant if we just sit back and do nothing and with your words, you are doing something! We must speak out, as poets we have a duty to tell the story to others, to plead for help, to pray for war to go away!

I read the work of John Dryden. He wrote of the many wars going on, were too hard to keep-up with. You are right dear Sheila, old world isn't changing. Thank you for reading and the comment.

You are always welcome my friend!

Man was always the maker of his own downfall.
Bigger castles, more guns, more bombs.
I'm surprised we're still here at all.
Though I think mother nature who really knows a thing or two about mass destruction maybe just do the job for us.

New thing in Michigan. They want to make a pipeline to cross the lake Superior into the Upper Michigan. Advertising everywhere, safe and proper. The sad part. We don't need the oil. Just rich men trying to be more rich. You are right my friend. Making more money doesn't protect nature and us. If we mess with Mother Nature. She will win. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Funny enough they told the people in the north of England, fracking was safe. Four earthquakes later, it was mothballed.

[Gee]

I think they'll be more praying than peace. Man is proving himself to be
more dumb than can be believed.
God help those that follow us.
Wise words Coyote
Hope you are well my friend

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree my friend. More screaming for war than the whisper for peace. Thank you for reading and the comment.

We are the teachers. So is the eight year old kid who stops you from walking into traffic. The peacemakers are in the background, doing what they always do. Trying to save the world.
Also, kick back, and listen to music.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right my friend. We are the teachers and the examples. Thank you Jon for reading and the comment.

The things you can learn from a coyote:) (says the frightened bunny scurrying away) No one abhors war more than a old soldier but then for him it's too late but then he can scream from the mountain of the futility of war and maybe those screams might reach the ears of the masses so the greedy and selfish get stuffed back into their dead pocketbooks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree my friend. Somethings are hard to be swallowed. And we do.

[poetgurl (Plainly Meg)]

WOW! This is just amazing, deep and intriguing really. nicely presented

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Kimmie. I worry for my world.

Everything we and our world should be is captured here.

I have often thought that if the first out of the trenches were the war makers themselves, then war would simply vanish from the face of the Earth. Can you imagine Assad, Rouhani, Erdogan, Trump, Putin; to name just a few of today's power hungry and callous world leaders, dressed in battle gear and facing the enemy in reality. Not a chance is there. All they would do is pee their pants and run for cover!

I agree dear Beccy. Rich men send the children to fight. Their greatest sin and thank you for reading and the comment.

[Beccy]

I wonder if those men have ever even heard of, never mind read, The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.

Probably not; so they are doubtless if for something of a shock in the not too distant future.

Damn but you really "dream" well John... I'll join your prayer anytime man...anytime at all.

[Coyote Poetry]

A great dream. Need nine eight billion more people to stand with us. Thank you Chris for reading and the comment.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

supposedly the bible indicates 200 years of peace before the end comes...we must not be anywhere near the end...because the hate just keeps growing...and as you say....the leaders just don't know when to shut up, they are all like schoolyard bullies...

You are right Jacob. 200 years of peace. If that is the rule. The world shall never end. Thank you Jacob for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
