PEACE KEEPERS

We say we have to keep the 'peace'.
But peace has to be free.
Since keeping 'peace' is costing lives
Then 'peace' it can not be.

We don't keep peace with tanks and guns.
We keep sporatic war
Between the sides that can't agree
On what they're living for.

Real peace is like the air we breathe,
A medium of life
That fills the space between us and
Allows no room for strife.

By living life that's natural
Peace we would generate.
Because we try to fill the void
We have this present state

Of having to prevent the fights
About the ways we try
In vain to fill the void within
With varied reasons why.

Reach out to our capacities,
To others and to God.
With life lines running parallel
There'd be no need to prod.

This natural activity
Yields peace we can't contain;
And as it suffocates the wars
"Ideal" life will remain.

PEACE KEEPING

WOLF'S CRY

The plaintive howling of the wolf
Should tell us where we are.
The distance from its end to ours
Is really not that far.

If thinking it's a selfish cry
We do not understand,
When it cries out, it cries for us,
We live on common land.

For what we now refuse to hear
We don't soon make amends,
We'll quickly learn this fact of life,
On Earth our life depends.

AFTERLIFE

When living for what's after life
We put the horse behind the cart.
We should bet on the here and now
And not what's after we depart.

What's after life I do not know.
Had I the facts, I'd tell of course.
If there's someone who has been there
I want these answers from that source.

Where do we go? What do we do?
Do we look on those left behind?
Please let me see the evidence.
I do not want a faith that's blind.

There is none; thus until we're there
The afterlife remains a myth.
But still I've had some idle thoughts
About it, I've been toying with.

Suppose the agents are part right;
But afterlife just mirrors life,
So when we fly to Paradise
Our baggage is our current strife.

If  'after' is linked to 'before'
That fact another message sends.
While blowing life on 'earth' to hell
The life in 'heaven' also ends.

So just in case, it would be wise
On earth a heaven to create.
Then if there is an afterlife
We'll find it in a peaceful state.

HEAVEN 
NATURE’S NUTRITIONAL IDEAL

WAR on TERROR

The "war on terrorism" is
A visible activity
That fights the terror that's within,
Our common human enemy.

Our terror is of the unknown
We find when asking "Why am I?"
It's of the void which can't be filled
But war is still a way we try.

This "terrorism" is a foe
Ideally suited to our fight.
Unlike the terror in our mind,
The terrorists are in plain sight.

They could be us. We need just try
To fill the void at the extreme,
For there such terror we will cause
To keep alive a dying dream.

It keeps us all so occupied
We have no time to think about
The reason we are in this war,
And thus the why we don't want out.

But if we see we must get out
Before it leaves us all destroyed,
The war will end when we decide
There are no ways to fill the void.

When we discard them we will find
The common ideal way of life
With peace of mind we all can feel
Diminishing to none our strife.

If we decide to end the war,
The terrorists we need not fear.
Their reason is the same as ours
So terrorists will disappear.

GOD'S WILL

God's will is doctrine of the church
That harms God's credibility;
And gratefully absolves from us
All our responsibility.

Believing God decides who's rich
Then chooses those who beg for bread
Can only lead me to conclude
The church's God must be brain dead.

The view that God designed the rank
Of races that has whites on top
With darker shades then blacks below
Requires that all thinking stop.

For God to use disease to teach
Us lessons that we need to learn
Interprets life in such a way
That God, I only want to spurn.

God cannot "bless America"
Inferring God leaves out the rest
And not create in me the view
Believers failed their IQ test.

How can I possibly believe
When told that God is in control
Then see on every nightly news
More soldiers killed while on patrol.

To hear from fields of war and sport
"Almighty God was on my side"
While those opposed God helped defeat,
Is thinking my mind can't abide.

To thus believe I must suspend
The use of my intelligence.
To think we find the will of God
In things like this, does not make sense.

We're separated from what's real.
God's purpose no one understands.
We're looking up; we should look down.
The will of God is in our hands.

God; God's voice; God's message
