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."            

       
                   
                  
I

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

[Coyote Poetry]

[hannajade]

wow! amazing poem, and unfourtantly true!

Well to E.H. Monroe, I respectfully disgree that grammar doesn't matter, so shame on him for that. Don't see it in shakespear, need to correct it here. That being said the grammar mistakes are:


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

Men of war authorized torture without thought. (no d, that changes the tense)

I asked God.
Where are you?
I'm weary of war. (no ed on ask, the poem before was present tense, this is past)

Love and mercy (are) forgotten. (is is singular, are is plural)

Freedom of truth and spirit are fading into
if you take out into the sentence will flow better.

Diagnosis of hateful and violence men speak with
(no ful, on hate. hateful=adverb, you want the adjective, which is just hate)

Trying to cause hysterical and fear.
Hysterical is also the adverb, you want hysteria

Poor woman and children a
women not woman. (plural vs singluar)

no mercy for the innocence.
innocent not innocence.

Vast sea separate the countries in quarrels over belief
Separates not separate.

I gazed upon the sea waiting to make a wish on the first star of the night.
I wished (no d on gaze or wish)

"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(,) taking down walls of hate and pain.
Bringing friends and neighbors together.
Demanding the wars to(no to) end.
Stop the hate and violence in this world.
Guns and weapons (need) to be put down."

The last bit of the poem is pleasantly devoid of your usual grammar mistakes, and its absolutely fantastic, nice job. This is a great poem

[Norma M Sutton]

would that it could happen. I'm terribly afraid that people war with themselves without the help of the machine. Bring the soldiers home, that is a wonderful dream.

[E.H. Monroe]

Come one man, when someone quotes the prophet in the beginning clearly the man is not concerned with the grammar errors. You leave of some s's and ya know what, who f*****g cares. Your stuff goes beyond reviews and points, its mind dripping words to open eyes.
It was a blend of poetic musings and soapboxed poiting with gentle words and tender reminders.
We come to the Coyote circle to be enlightened, or at least I do. I play in Ugly, but I come to you for hope.

Another hitter from the land roamer..

This is very true, you capture the thoughts of many who are praying for an end to all this fighting. Your poetry is amazing, it's so intense and real.

Never easy to realise that war is profitable to the powers that be! This is beautifully told love, take Iraq for example, how many protested on the street? More than enough to stop it! Did it? No, because it was designed to happen, just like Afghanistan :(
Maybe, we protest in the wrong, yes, it is our so called right to do so, but what does it do?
What we really need to do is stop voting and stop complying to rules! In a peaceful manner! We are their power, not the reverse!
Brilliant work love, hugs xx

When will it all end? That question is like a lost child...we search and look but come up empty, you my friend have that spirit of seeking that elusive reality of peace...unfortunately we are caught within these days of turmoil and war...until the world can change its mindset we will find ourselves wishing...hoping...praying for the ending of this madman's creation among us. Let us who are few pray together my friend and look deep within to find the mindset to change this world, and then let us pass this on to each and everybody we meet so as to join together...

Love and Peace my friend...

A very true and passionate piece Coyote.

[The Analog Kid]

Very passionate plea for peace. You speak of many truths. Too bad human nature is so ugly and will never heal these differences. The war machine is the wrong path at this time.
