Peace

this message is full of love ,its not what it seems ,there is no hatred in it whatsoever,i just want the madness to stop ,i want love to come over again,the world is getting sick we need to get more rational,this hatred is getting us nowhere,it has to sto

oh peace what a wonderful word,we all sing of it

peace be with you

may rest in eternal peace

have a peaceful day

so peaceful they are

peace,its not just calm and quiet

its respect to humans

i have never seen peace all my life

how i wish to live if only for a few days

but peace was never meant for us

greed is all i knew since young

killing and blood is all i used to see

oh my friends oh how ugly

if you have seen the amount of blood i saw

the many lives i witnessed be taken

lives ...dreams hopes endless thoughts of the future

in a flicker is taken away

life leaving behind so many others

children and wife and home

only used to be home

now its no more

when i walk the streets i see lots of red

so thick it tells how many here just left

but they left behind their flesh so much

every beautiful morning i would go out

to see these mass of flesh heaped in every corner

this is how much man is worth,a heap of flesh

i just look ,never believe my eyes

never seen so many,no move ,no life

i really cry and cry hard

i see faces looking at me eyes not moving

some frozen in a smile,some so frightened

some almost look asleep

others look they once have been so alive

so i turn around and go home till next morning

when i will come out see a new collection

and i marvel at what,at what  this world has come to be

Well i did read this and it fills me with terror. I do hope you experience peace in your life so much !!! Peace is everything that is required to have a happy life. But some folks are not so fortunate to experience it at all...I pray for those.,,every day !!

Thanks for sharing your deep thoughts
Take care

This is an honest emotional outpouring for an honest need of peace. I don't know why you wouldn't want to share this with everyone. There need to be so many more voices like yours or nothing will ever change, nothing will get better, and we will never get that peace we all need.

What's interesting, is that national news here rarely reports on the pictures you so perfectly and candidly painted. We're overwhelmed with entertainment and political news, but we don't report on what's going on in the two wars we're fighting. But the bodies that you speak of, are never seen or even talked about.....

"this is how much man is worth,a heap of flesh
i just look ,never believe my eyes
never seen so many,no move ,no life
i really cry and cry hard
i see faces looking at me eyes not moving"

Your words are piercing! I would love to read this and allow my heart to turn away as I do so, but I can't; which made the read hard, but it's so honest and I understand why you told me what you told me earlier.
Thank you.......

Yeah this world is a terrible place and a sad one to...but one day we will have peace...you did a wonderful job on this
Great Job :)

I have heard that until there is peace for everyone, there will be no true peace for anyone... It must be something all strive for above personal satisfaction and personal fulfillment... May we truly see peace in our lifetime... Powerful write that brings me both grief for what is and a passion to do what is right to change what has been.

my god so sad.....a wonderful piece...i do hope u do find peace ;)

[Robert Francis Callaci]

Peace is a precious thing-understood by those who have little not understood by those who have a lot-
A powerful and heartfelt piece written by one who dreams of peace ...

Amazing..the read..the write..the insanity of it all! I'm so fortunate to have been blessed thus far in life. To have lived each day while never yet experiencing the brutality and blood shed that mankind afflicts on each other carried out before my eyes. I can not phantom the thought of stepping outside the safe heaven of my home, or walking down the street into a war zone at my feet. For what we ask..a difference in opinions, religions, race, country? We are but fools to believe any God would except this type of senseless behavior, and in his name..Never! I feel your pain in your words, the bloodshed, the flesh, the smell from death abounds you. You carry no weapons, but merely a pen and paper. May you fight the war, the demons, and may they now surrender peacefully at your feet by your beautiful but telling words alone!

[Sheila Kline]

Oh, how very heart wrenching to think of life as this....may we seek peace in all that we do...with our every thought, our every action, our every heartbeat!! I have written some poetry about peace, and I shall post it for you....let us live in peace! I will let you know when I have one on this forum.
You have bared your soul in this write......and it has deeply touched me....more than I can express in these meager words!

Among those who make war, who kill and maim, who destroy, thank God there are those who heal and care too. While such people exist there is hope. It is not just in Iraq either. I remember World War 2 and my father fought in World War1. I remember the Spanish Civil War - brother against brother. Look at Africa and Darfur. Why must it be so - it all comes down to greed as you so rightly say. But - while there is goodness and kindness, there is still hope. You tell a story that needs to be told and you tell it from love not hatred. You are part of that hope my friend.
