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.

[Star Wolf]

Impressive write. I sometime think wars are fought for the benefit of the ruling class who ever they may be. War ruins so many lives but the soldiers fighting are being used for the elite, who think its okay to kill so many for their personal gain. Few wars are really necessary. Awesome poem.

[Sunflower 20]

[Cynthia]

Brother Coyote
All I can say is Amen, as much of what you say here has been in my prayers for many years..The song at the end gave me chills, I know it well. I sung it at a protest rally in 1960..I was 16 years old..I have been singing it ever since..This poem reminded me not to give up.
Thank you, for reminding me.

What the world needs is a good dose of positivity! and love.
I like this Coyote. Very well stated.

[Hisou_Tenshi]

I was surprised at how much I could agree on. This poem is very well written but even more important is the message. Whenever I see the news, I want to cry. What's wrong with people these days? I haven't lived long enough to understand the wars of the past, but I can understand that many people today are suffering and something needs to stop. I don't know what can change these deaf ears of people entranced in war, but even I can hear the screams of the innocent from across the world.

You really took time and effort to write this piece. I really appreciate it. And so do millions of other people. This is a strong and inspiring thing you wrote. I, personally, agree with you on everything you said on every level. Great job. I loved reading this.
