International Day of Peace
Cause we ain't gonna fight no more
- Prince
War is over (if you want it)
- John and Yoko
Today, 21 September, is the United Nations' International Day of Peace.
Too bad it's not a day of peace in real life....
Come on, people of the planet! Is it too hard to go one whole day without any of us killing any of our human brothers or sisters? One fucking day? Apparently it's easier to fight and kill than to give peace a push up the evolutionary hill. What the hell's wrong with us, anyway?
Give peace a chance. Please! What are we waiting for?...

have you heard this song before my friend?
why is it that people justify war through creating a good and an evil. and when the children are killed on any side it's treated like this "those are the casualities of war, it's sad but unavoidable".
sickening really.

If you want peace don't protest war, promote peace!
This is the way of the word warriors - I join you in the promotion of peace.

Amen. I second all that you said. Why aren't you in charge of this world? We would be a lot better off.

Maybe I'd be corrupt too if I had that much power. I'd hope not. But it's possible.

I would venture to guess that if you can come out of a prison with the values that you have now, that even if you had all the power available to the upper echelon you would still be fair and true to yourself and to others. I would just be willing to bet on that...

CLOSER TO THEE
The rhythms of a million tribes
infuse the human breast,
and where the lions lay their heads,
lambs never would have guessed.
We grieve in vain for misplaced songs,
conditioned to ignore
religions that infest the roof,
and crawl across the floor.
Eviscerated, ossified,
as cocktail hour nears,
the gravity of what we've done
completely disappears.
The celebrated "world of peace"
lies buried in the mud,
prostrated by the human heart--
a fist that's wrapped in blood.

wow... hard to follow that powerful poem with a song

A very easy and good start would be to treat the people we encounter in everyday life with a bit more dignity and respect. We are asking ourselves to treat people halfway around the world with respect and humanity. Charity begins at home. Lets take the first small step by being a little kinder and more respectful to the people we enconter every day. Once we realise that they are human beings just like us with real feelings, intelligent ideas and valid opinions, then maybe we can evolve to respecting and appreciating all people. It's hard to kill someone that you identify with.

The Cost Of Peace
Image hosted by servimg.com
Not one red dime, not another cent.
Not a dollar or a cheque do I give to you.
Not the trillion dollar deficit or is it?
more?
All of the oil in the world.
All of your machines.
One Person and they immortal soul.
The pain of a prisoner.
The freedom of a man.
The blood on the tree.
The cost of peace.
Me.
