Now is the time to join hands and hearts
and channel
Love, Compassion, Understanding
here and all around the globe
and to channel
Grief and Anger
and tackle the problems of
Greed, Poverty, Injustice, Intolerance
Bigotry, Hatred, Repression
and unite against all forms of terrorism.
Now is the time to
focus on the real world
and correct
the underlying conditions of daily life
which lead children to believe
that martyrdom is good
that Allah desires it
that the world will accept it.
For the grownups are mostly already lost,
and the future for millions looks grim.
So now is the time
to join hands and hearts
and re-create this world,
to establish a loving
Unity of Mankind.
Terrorism must not prevail.
Hatred, bigotry, poverty, injustice, intolerance
must be wiped off the face of
our mutual Mother,
Earth.

Yes and most of all we must identify our
enemy. There is danger we may hurt the innocent in our desire for revenge.  Joyce

James: Thanks for reading. I really do feel this is the only long term goal for the world which can successfully end terrorism.

Joyce: Thanks. Yes, we really must identify the terrorists and stop them. That has to be the first order of business for all of the civilized countries, to band together in this war, and simultaneously work to resolve the underlying problems that perpetuate terror keep us from being united in peace.

i fully agree with you.. now is the opportunity for everyone to have a totally changed outlook on life upon hearing of these tragedies, one of hope and unity, peace, love, and respect for one another.
