War and terror must stop. Please.

Will take a miracle. 4 billion people saying we had enough of hate and violence.

                     






War and terror must stop

         "The God separate a spirit from himself and fashion it into beauty."
                               Kahil Gibran

The world is in dis-ray.

Few men speak of peace.

Threats and demands are many.
Men of war authorize torture without thought.

Hope is fading.
Despair is growing.

I ask God.
Where are you?
I'm weary of war.

Ancient cities are battle zones.
Love and mercy are forgotten.
Freedom of truth and spirit are fading into
"Dust in the wind."

Diagnosis of hate and violence men speak with
words of blasphemy.
Trying to cause hysterical and fear.

Poor women and children are in the way of war.
They are the Martyr.
Guns and bombs have no mercy for the innocence.

Vast sea separate the countries in quarrels over belief
and control.

Bringing young men and woman to places where they will face
death and learn to accept missions that will scar their souls and hearts
forever.

I gaze upon the sea waiting to make a wish on the first star of the night.
I wished  "Bring the Soldiers home safe and sound. All of them.
Please stop the madness."

The sea waves danced slowly upon the quiet beach.
I closed my eyes. I make a wish upon a million stars.

"All people of this world need to stop.
We need a great gathering of people in all cities.
To stand together.
Sing songs of welcome and peace.
Open arms to take down walls of hate and pain.
Bringing friends and neighbors together.
Demanding the wars to end.
Stop the hate and violence in this world.
Guns and weapons to be put down."

It is time for all countries to solve their own problems.
It is time for powerful countries to fix their own problems.
Leave the old places alone to heal and repair.

When a world is led by Berserkers.
Where no blood will cure their hunger.

The Berserkers with the blood thirst for oil and wealth/control.
Will not be content till nothing is left.

Nations will rise and fall.
Many Devils will come upon us preaching words of hate and turmoil.

"A eye for a eye will leave us all dead one day.
How many sons and daughters must die for us to understand.
We are just people.
Just different places with the same needs.
We want a warm bed, a safe place to live. Food for our family."

Order of the gun must be put out of their misery.

War does not bring peace.
Create new hate and more thirst for blood and revenge.

I sat on a hill with the morning sunrise.
The sun  glorious bringing in the birth of a new day.
The calmness and quiet left me feeling alone.

I prayed to the sea, the sky and the earth.
I asked the spirit of life and death.

"Bring peace to this world where hope is lost.
Separation is growing.
We need a song of peace and calm.
Not the song of death and hate."

                  "We will overcome. We will overcome.
                   Deep in my heart.
                   I do believe.
                   We will overcome someday.
             
                   We will walk hand in hand. We will walk hand in hand.
                   Deep in my heart.
                   I do believe.
                   We will overcome someday."
                                  Martin Luther King Jr.


                        Coyote
                   "One voice can turn many toward good. Few voices of reason today.
                     Many excuses for war. No profit in peace."

Author's Note

I quit listening to the news. I read the key articles on my web sites. Too much double speak for a old man. Any error. I appreciate the help.

'War and terror must stop. Please'
Coyote Poetry,
I found this one and it is always a good time to think on peace. Even within our own personal lives and with others around us we can be at war. I know how you feel....tires of the friction. It was good to focus on another's view of how nature's beauty is such a good place to find solitude. To find thankfulness for the good. Oh I wish it was available to all.
Blessings,
Kathy

Thank you dear Kathy. I will burn sage by Lake St. Clair. I pray we learn peace for the sage of the children.

[Tina Kline]

I sure wish the world could be this way too. There is nothing but truth to your words. This is outstanding!!!

[Linear]

It's a crazy world all mixed up, the ruler of the world has his way, when the folly of man thinking he rules himself, when he simply cannot, they made a revolver called a peacemaker, what stupidity when men think they may bring peace at the point of a gun. Untill the Armed forces of this world beat their weapons into ploughshares there can be no peace, untill every weapon is destroyed at home or work place, no peace and even then there will still be no peace untill the very heart of man changes till the hatred is ripped out and replaced by true love and compassion for our fellow man, only a very few people in this world have done that, and they are often persecuted for it. Sorry my friend, it's a very emotive piece you have written well done

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

This poem was right on Coyote! Bravo for a well written poem that speaks nothing but pure TRUTH!!

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

I wish this too "The sea waves danced slowly upon the quiet beach.
I closed my eyes. I make a wish upon a million stars".
You are so right , your words are true. I wish they would come true.
We always have hope. The news is all so bad i think you have a good idea.
Written from your heart as always.I like that you put in MLK's speech. A good man.

This poem speaks to the heart! I pray for peace someday, if only it will come sooner than later! Thanks for sharing and helping us all to remember our men and women who is fighting for us!

[Desert Dreamer]

You speak truth, you words have much power here. I do see that the best solution is in joining together into a community, each location(country,state,city, neighborhood) working on our own problems, staying out of the way for others to heal. One voice does make a difference...your last lines will stay with me. There is no profit in peace...and our whole system revolves around profit and therefore war becomes necessary...oh, it is time to change the system. I don't want profit, I only want to live, and many feel the same...we need to stand together. There are other ways to live.

[Ladysue]

You voice what we all feel. You write with great passion and spirit...I hope someday we will overcome...thanks for sharing your thoughts...

[YouoweYoupay]

Your poem is plain, simple, to the point. It's flowing with wisdom and the longing to return to Earth's undisturbed nature, where besides being afraid of the frest beasts, falling asleep would be peaceful. This poem hurts, and it reawakened the weak longing for salvation of spilt blood. money. and all the lies. Wonderfully quoted and written. Thank you so much for sharing. Salam.

[Ghost]

I liked it. (: good job.

A wonderful declaration to stop war. I'm sad though to say that I think that until time ends it's going to be a part of who we are. War is just assumed when conflict arises. But maybe enough poems like this one and protests we can make a change!
A wonderful write and added to my favourites.
