Peace

Sentimental

Folder: 
Wonderful World

Races run, faces shine, it is win;

Life goes on in spite of pain.

Infinite!

Tear Peace?

Stretch it Overseas?

Oh! I would, if I could! By all means!

Alas! No ears

My cries;

"Peace Peace Peace"

Discard, Dismiss, it is Mawkish!

Princess

Folder: 
touched souls

Life, this head of mine;

All is torn in two.

There’s a princess of emotion,

That sits in darkness.

And oh, this head of mine,

It sees her, glowing.

Her beauty is not that of many,

But would illuminate the world.

She counts and dreams so many,

To sleep, to laugh, to love her.

And all this time,

My head of mine,

Wants her in my arms.

Snowflakes

Folder: 
DESPAIR

Snowflakes

Floating gently

Downwardly

Crystallizing

Everything it touches

Making everything

Pure and white

Drifting endlessly

Spiraling down,

Down, down

Encasing everything

With its light cold touch

In a fluffy blanket of

Pure white happiness

Its journey ends

With the coming of spring

And turn to liquid

Clear and impure,

And now everyone will have to wait

Until the next snowflakes come

And embrace everything

With its pure white touch.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I love snow..

Peace in the Rain

Folder: 
Peace

         When the sun shines brisk in the day,

  Or the flowers pop up to bloom,

                The birds will sing and the animals play,

              But I prefer the silence of a quiet room.



            Think of the peace, think of the silence!

          Think of the absence of noise so sour!

               Think of the absence of bloody violence!

                                        The only thing you can hear is the “Tap!” of a shower…

        

              Ah!  Through the window I think I hear,

            The rap-a-tap-tap of the rain so distant,

                  The rap-a-tap-tap of the rain I love so dear:

                        To hear the rain splatter, it sounds so insistent.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

About the rain, and how one can find peace in the rain.  Another Shaksperian sonnet.

The World Today

Too much hate-
Not enough love.
Too many sorrows-
Dreams that die without ever seeing the light of tomorrow.
What's wrong with thew world today?
Not enough smiles-
Too many fears-
And too many tears.
Too many wars,
Not enough peace.
The list is rather long,
I could go on and on.
A heart breaks,
Because no one cares.
The magic dies,
A dove cries.
Too much religion- no one believes-
No reason to forgive.
Not enough trust-
Too much lust.
A child dies of abuse,
Another dies because there's no food.
Lies told,
Nightmares unfold.
Do you want to make the world a better place?
Give someone a reason to smile.
Wipe away a tear,
Ease a fear.
Love your brother,
Try not to kill one another,
What's wrong with the world today?
Too much hate-not enough love..

! 180 Ways To Create Peace

Peace begins with you

Peace begins with me

Multiply that by three

All will be free

**





180 WAYS TO END THE WAR AND UNFOLD PEACE



1 Picket BP, Exxon, Shell, Texaco, Arco, Amoco, all of the many residences and newspapers of Rupert Murdoch, and other warmonger broadcasters such as CNN, sometimes the CBC, and the homes of

MP's, senators and congressmen and governors and 'justices', the homes and offices of

media anchors who are puppets of the Pentagon. indymedia.org around the world www.oregongasprices.com

of Lockheed whose burning bombs are dropped from Lockheed planes onto Lebanese

6 Jump in the water... call talk radio ,.no matter what you think of the IQ of

the audience or the host

8 It is up to each person's conscience whether or not he renders bombmoney taxes to the invading Caesars in Washington, Ottawa, London, New Delhi, Mexico City

and other governments overtaken by war profiteers.

What Is Peace?

Folder: 
My Poems

What is peace?

Peace is a word.

Majority of  the world has said the word

or used the jesture

and to many of you it is just a word.

Yeah, peace is a word.

Way before Grease was the word

and I'm sure the majority of us has seen Grease.

But how many of us have actually seen peace?

Yeah, we can all mind our own business

and go about our way,

So, is that how peace is supposed to be lived today?

We can say the word money

and vision money

We can see a bee and relate it to honey.

We can see a bird on the ground

and assume it can fly,

We can look up

and see the sky.

But when someone says peace,

What is it that we see?

Two fingers in the air

Or   R . I . P .

A circle with some lines inside,

So how would a person see peace

if his or her eyes are blind?

Peace is sometimes used when it's quiet day and night,

So is a deaf person peaceful

with day and night crime in sight?

How can someone believe in peace

and then agree to drop the bombs?

Will we ever get rid of Bin Ladens and Sadaams?

You just can't say the word peace

You have to live it

It needs to be fealt,

So may peace be with us all

Let us all feel peace in good health.
