PEACE





The horizons are broad
enough for all to rise
rising with each gasp of breath

not killing ourselves at the sight of our mess

Loving, caring and comforting
lovable, calmable and comfortable,
our dwelling in one accord
without strife, envyings and naggings.

So copious the landscape
so pacifying a green sight to behold
so gentle and tender on the skin,
the breeze from the old trees
passing across a message it wishes all understand

So carefree a creation we are
but I have a voice to undo the folded lies;
those romantic lies seated in the core of the brain
both of the sensual man-in-the street
and a lie of the higher authorities
whose castles are built in the sky,
high above the lands where no one exists

Hunger allows no choice,
Neither to the government nor to the governed
to the police nor the policed;
to the military nor the civilian;
to the northerner nor southerner;
to the easterner nor westerner
we must love one another and blossom
or die killing each other.! 

LIVE AND LET OTHERS LIVE

Lets go a step higher. YES WE CAN.
