None

 

Parried blows from secular devils,

Fall like boulders broken into pebbles.

Scatter on the ground below,

Creases on faces lift and smiles finally show.

 

Pacifist masters teach compassionate pastors,

To preach promises of higher protection,

To victims of meaningless insurrection.

Intuitive kindness leads to universal affection.

 

Souls mold together as one.

Sun shines as personalities bind together.

In warm weather, people learn to love eachother,

Giving what they take, bonding as mothers and brothers.

 

Military force turns to voluntary remorse,

As amends are made to those who paid,

The price of life for liberty,

Now that the world has been granted sovereignty.

 

We are all united in our differences

No longer isolated on cultural isthmuses,

Freedom at the cost of compassion,

Is not freedom but a useless contraption.

 

As love grows taller and taller,

Hatred shrinks, smaller and smaller.

Let it evaporate into thin air,

Released from its human snare.

 

Follow wiser and kinder beings,

Into the light of ultimate seeing.

Sleep loosens its tight grip,

Into full consciousness we willingly slip.

 

But unfortunately the world is not so,

We are trapped in purgatory, growth is slow.

Violence is engulfing our homes,

As babies crawl on their parents bones.

 

War torn races fight opposing faces.

Scarce resources are hoarded by the wealthy

Oceans of money keep rich men healthy,

As the poor die without a sound.

 

This is the world that we live in.

This is the world we don’t have to live in.

Change can come from unlikely sources,

Love is the most powerful of human forces.
