A couple of thoughts reflecting the wars I think we should fight.

If we must kill
If we must maim
If death’s rattle we seek
If fighting is our cry
Then let’s attack war
Let’s let war die


No war
Slam the door
Tell him no
No war
Stop the death
Steal war’s breath

YEAH!!! You go Paul!!! (clapping wildly) I have been heavily supporting the Poetry Against The War Campaign and am happy to see more and more speak out, it is so devastating, after all, World War I consisted of 13 million casualties, World War II had 40 million casualties, and as far as I am concerned with the new technology in nuclear weapons and all, a World War III can destroy a huge portion of the world! (wipes tears) This is powerful, sweet friend, by the way, please check out this site:

God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You are a good knight. Thank you for this approach to the fight.
Namaste and Peace,
for the sake of all humanity as well as all the flora and fauna.
