If I could make a miracle,

I’d gift to thee,
one perfect eye
for the world to see.
I’d gift you two
if I could guarantee
you’d not have to see
3D inhumanity.
I’d gift an ear to
hear robins songs,
but two would just double
sounds of human wrongs.
My gift to you
instead shall be
this daily chant
for humanity:

O God,
let there be
Peace on Earth.
O God,
let there be
Peace on Earth.
O GOD,
O GOD,
I beg of thee,
let there be
PEACE
for you and me.

Well stated ....
     sometimes lesser is not the greater of two evils.

And the chant ..... seen and heard by all of "One".

Thank you for the peaceful thought and smile!!

an interesting perspective, a well-stated, fervent plea!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Very beautifully written, I always pray for peace as well...maybe one day.

Of all I've lost; I miss my innocence  the most.

For a second there, I began picturing a creation by Ray Harryhausen from The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad, what with the one eye and all...  but even THEY never seemed to really have peace either...  Perhaps it awaits us on "the other side"...?

Thank you for these replies.

Mark, but what if there is no 'other side' and this is all there really is? I'd like my cake now.

Kacy, but there ALWAYS is another side -- metaphysical law of paradox.  I can only imagine given this third dimension of negativity that "the other side" must be proportionately better...
