I see a land of peace no.
i'm not alone for the eye that sees is the I that has won if we want it to be then our work's almost done it's the wanting, you see that will make us all one i see a world with no lies only love remains of course nobody cries just the sweet scent of rain falling free on us all living in peace is my dream it's my destiny's call this world is so real lying just beyond the veil so long concealed yet i'm lost in its spell envision with me if only for today people coming together with peace as their way i see this place as sure i know that love will erase all memory of foe beauty and honor respect, love, and cheer if you truly believe then it's already here i may be a fool and this i am sure will not be the last time i dip my tongue in the pool of a love that will last my vision so near just want it with me please, just want it with me see.
now it is here let it be that my hope is not lost on you now for if our hearts can see it then peace is here...
right now I wrote this poem because I really and truly believe that world peace, as we see it being defined and attempted by our world leaders, is not possible.
There is a fundamental omission of personal responsibility on the individual level.
Peace is a personal choice.
Right? I can say I desire world peace, but I also scream at my wife, or kick the dog, or curse the other angry driver...
Or, I aim my missiles at some other country.
When I decide once and for all that peace starts in my own heart, and I begin to systematically eliminate the actions that promote chaos, I have made my own first step in contributing to peace on a global scale.
Pray for peace, but also promote and create peace by doing peaceful things.
Namaste' -- jb
