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.

                   "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.

I ask God.

"One voice can turn many toward good. Few voices of reason today.

There is powerful feeling in this poem. Their is a similarity in our perspective and i really connected with this poem.
"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." Pretty much summed up my perception of the same. Great Work! The hatred, anxiety and bitterness is all so tangible. I like this alot

Thought provoking

[Priyankaabhilaashi]

Sir,

You are talking of error..?? This is flawless, the truth which neither of us can deny..! When are we gonna give up this violence and let peace prevail...???

When will the government understand..? When will the powerful senates realize..??? It is us, the people who are suffering.. THE COMMON PEOPLE..THE MASSES..who pays the cost for their lavishness, their luxuries.........!!!!!


WE need to rise up..!!!!

FANTASTIC WRITE..!!!!

HATS OFF TO YOU, SIR..!!!!!

[Michael Jarrell]

This is beautiful. I agree to all of it. I had a friend who got "Never Again" tattoed on his arm. I'm like "dude... its still happening." -Sigh- Turning off the news does help.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is spoken with a great truth. Blood shed doesn't lead to peace it only leads to more hate and violence. We are all people no matter how we look or what language we speak.

[littlelilypurplebride]

I agree with the rock in roll cowboy all we can do is pray and do the right things in god's name and always obey him. psalms27:1 THE LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall i be afraid? god bless lily

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

God is watching and that is all he can do for he gave humans the gift of freewill and sometimes they abuse that power... those who kill innocent people in the name of God are lying... an when our Government has our troops fight in another country to protect our freedoms they are lying. When will it stop? Unfortunately not anytime soon.

[Sydney Evans]

This has nothing but truth.
Kudos for honesty and well written.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This was well written. You expressed yourself with elegance and sincerity.
If only the true world can see the truth.

[Nothing Personal]

Coyote,

As always a wonderful, wonderful piece. Completely blown away by some of the realities you depicted here..There is something about the way you write..It hits you gently but it hits you hard..

I just want to say they don't fight because they hate. They fight to show superiority and in some cases, just to keep ammunition industries alive. It's sad but some of the industrialists are so rich that they can decide global politics and decisions. It's sad but it's true..

But your voice isn't fading and it's going strong..
We shall indeed overcome
Some day..
