What is real?

Many questions are asked. Few people can speak the truth.

          





                 
                 
















 Poetry, my dear friends,
                   is a sacred incarnation of a smile.
                   Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears.
                   Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul,
                   who nourishment is the heart,
                   who wine is affection.
                   Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
                                  Kahlil Gibran.

                                   Perfection

                     Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry,
                     The philosophy which does not make me laugh
                     and the greatness which does not bow before children.
                                    Kahlil Gibran

                                   The unbeliever  (The Quran-surah)
                           1. Say: Unbelievers.
                           2. I do not serve him that which you serve.
                           3. Nor do you serve him whom I serve.
                           4. Nor am I going to serve that which you serve.
                           5. Nor are you going to serve him whom I serve.
                           6. You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.
                                             Quran


                         What is real?

I watched the news on CNN. Men trying to confuse us with double talk.
We were warned of a time where the government would want to control all things.
Something should be easy to understand.

The separation of religion and Government.
The Federal and state government are not banks.
Religion is a private matter.
Giving money to banks and loan companies was a bad sign.
Do they give all the poor men and woman who lost their homes and businesses a low interest loan too? No they did not.
   
If you study real common sense. If you know history. New Testament and Quran are based on love and forgiveness. Man's change the words to profit the world of money and powerful nations.

Violence bring hate. Death bring more death. Blood of father's will follow into the son's and daughter's. Create wall of new hate and desire for revenge never to end. 

Today few places are not touched by war.
War blocked out the real problems.
The Gulf of Mexico was killed off with oil.
Nuclear waste dumped into the Asia seas.
30 million will died of starvation this year in Africa. 

Brother's are killing brother's in all parts of this world.
Religion is not the problem.
Hate and foolishness is the problem.
A bomb exploded in the USA.
Killed men/woman and children in Oklahoma city.
A bomb exploded in Baghdad open market killing innocent shoppers.
Children in the kindergarten in the USA are learning to take cover if
there is a attack.
Did we lose our minds? When did the world fall on the path of hate and destruction?

A eye for a eye world will end with no winners.
Time to lock-up all the world leaders in a room.
Like the days of Unions.
Can't come out till all problems are fixed.
The country with internal struggle must gather the men and woman of wisdom.
Have peace talks and quit killing their brother's and sister's.
Must stop the blood.

Brother's must stop killing their fellow country men and women.
Powerful nations need to sent Soldiers with food and water to the starving nations.
I'm Ojibwa/Mexican.

I believe will take the circle of life to find peace.
Need all races to demand peace and end to war.
Pollution and destruction of this planet must stop.
It won't matter if you are a Muslim, Christian or a believer of nothing.
A nuclear weapon will put all of us on the path of no return.

I pray the madness must end.
For the sake of the children everywhere.
No-one want their babies to die.
We must change direction and allow our children to grow-up without fear and great hope.
 
Poet and writers must lead the way. Need to hear voices strong and loud. Someone must lead this world from a destiny of pain and destruction.

(Paraphrases)

Christianity: Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Islam: Hurt no one..that no one would hurt you
Buddism: Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful
Confucianism: Seek to be in harmony with all your neighbors.
Judaism: That which is hateful to you...do not do to your neighbor

Its amazing how we pick and choose the scriptures that "justify" the way we mistreat each other. You spoke words that the world desperately needs to hear right now.

Unfortunately it will take much much more than us... listening to radio today it spoke of te turmoil and uprising in the Arab countries, it i steh people rising up against all that is bad, would we in the western world do the same? Toppel our leaders? Unfortunately we are geared to the almighty dollar...

thanks for the write :)

I agree the madness must end. I have writen letters, waited on steps as they just passby. Walked,march upon the roads asking for somebody to take the time to listen. That was the one of the biggest reason I wrote my first book. I wanted someone to listen and hope to change one thing. If you read my books you would know what I am trying to say. For our world here we need to make a stand some way some how.

Oh my friend,how i agree with every word written here,i dont care about the mistakes
there is such hope and big heart to say all this..such wisdom to kneel before children
no one is too big for others ,we writers must be the first to tell about such dreams
yes..alas all will tell you its just dreams..nothing is without profit
let the people of somalia die,have you heard anyone cry out loud
3 millions dying,so what they never count,its a poor weak nation
even if its abolished from the face of earth it wont make any difference
we are in a very civilized age..ha ha,what a laugh
all the rise up of nations in my area and how they are killed
just because they said no to tyranny,where is the free world
to support them,but there are other calculations,so freedom dont count here
why should they ever be free..again what a laugh..i say this with a very broken heart
as i never hear a word here about this,i dont care if much will be pissed off
truth again as you say must be said..if we ever are going to live in peace ever again
a great write ,so humane,how you gave a brief of everything,of the s****y state we are living
thank you for being so honest,and truthful to yourself,let no one hears this ,but truth is said
lovely write..

Beautifully written Coyote. It's exactly the way I feel. I read once that once there is peace, then the end would come. So as much as I hate war... I'm equally afraid of peace. So imagine that. Scary huh? I'm afraid that we competitive animals which possess the most intelligence among animals will always be animals. Kind of ironic but my poem these late hours is a spiritual one too... but that's nothing new with me lol.
