Dreams don't die. Can be heard by wise people in the gentle wind and never forgotten.

Can't allow war to blind us from peace. Guns and hate will close all open doors. Need wise people to lead this world into a good place.

  

                      Dreams and the great Dreamers

I have heard Martin Luther Kings words of love, brotherhood and peace.
His words were like thunder to the sky.
His true word burn down years of hate and made men walk together.
He was one of many men and woman who gave all for peace and love.

I met Rachel Corrie too late. A Poet from the Middle East wrote of a USA citizen. "The beautiful American." She died for her dream. (please listen to her speech at 10 years old.) "When you died to protect and save lives of strangers. You have given your life for another. These are the real Angels upon this earth and in heaven.

War is alive and well in the world. Touching all places in some shape or form.
The 500 billion dollars given to war contractors(USA) are making the rich man richer.
The poor man pay with  the blood of the youth and the innocent.
War was for defense?
Now 300 thousand men are police men in dangerous places.
I hope there are reasons for them to died?
The War is over. Terrorism have been around for 5000 years.
Make the borders stronger and add better security at exit and entree of all countries.

 We must learn the strength of a great people. Look at history.
The demonstrations of the late sixties and early seventies made a nation at war change direction.  The children of today have many problems to fix.

No time to back away.
No time to discern themselves from the real world.
Time to say farewell to war without purpose.
It is time for understanding and peace.

No child should go to bed hungry.
No mother should fear the night for she is homeless.
Time to allow religion to be a personal belief.
HIV and hunger will kill 60,000 people tonight.
Do you care?

"Lord of life and death.
Need your help upon this Earth.
Many need direction and wisdom.
Hate is growing.
Love and kindness is forgotten.

I pray for the people.
I pray all children are fed and safe.
I pray all people have a bed and safe place to rest.
I pray Soldiers are assisting the weak and healing the sick.

Please spirit of life and death.
Allow the world to heal and stop the madness."

Blood bring more blood.
Hate bring more hate.
Must stop the road to destruction.

Kindness bring forgiveness.
A offer of friendship can open doors to peace.
Healing take time.

Guns are not the tools of peace.
Sending 150,000 Soldiers is not a sign of friendship.
Create ghosts to make attacking another country logical.
Should be a crime!

Dream of peace must come to life.
Time for the war machine to stop.

In the end.
We are all brothers and sisters.
Race, color and belief won't mean much when there is nothing is left.

Thank you for reading.

This is very awakening for me and I can only pray it is awakening for everyone else. The most jolting line is your last line- the best place for it. Let your readers have this lingering long after they have read your poem. Look to God to find true peace...

[Alexis]

Your poems always find a way to amaze me somehow and this one was no different. It really made me think a lot more. I completely agree with everything you've said here. Fantastic job.

[WatashLegend]

To me John Lennon said it perfectly with his song "Imagine" the basic foundational elements of coexisting and thriving through happiness are in that song if only more people would apply it. You see are a diamond in the rough.

[Amber "Victoriomantic" ..]

Your poems about war are always very thought-provoking. I hope one day you get them published so you can spread your message further and find more people who will listen.

[Kamran]

Greed is definitely the greatest flaw in the human mind. It's truly shocking how one relatively small group of people can destroy the entire world. Great job Coyote.

[Eric Cox]

Wise and caring words. An excellent piece.

[dreaming dame]

Beautifully written. :) And I totally agree.

[MS. BABy]

you are just so earthy...I love reading you you make me feel like the man brother uncle that can just take you in and say this is how it is......and give me warmth love advice meaning I am so glad that you are here

[Linear]

I pray for a time without soldiers, a world without borders, no crime a place without locks and I know this time will come, but no man will bring it about for there are no good men, we are all flawed.

Once again you write with your heart on clear display :0)

[Ruth]

Coyote...you hold a strong voice and I love this! So well spoken and so darn true and right! What is peace to some people, I wonder at times? But you know..I read your work and find hope!
Hugs dear friend

I can see it. That is very bad. Too many people die each day pf hunger. There is a bunch of money somewhere for them but its being used for the wrong reasons. Thats a strong way of putting how these children feel. How they don't have taste anymore. Very touching. Let God be with them.
