it is so incredibly sad
to see

another wall goes up
another barrier
another reminder

we are
out of control here
on planet earth
and need someone
bigger
stronger
smarter
kinder

to intervene

is there anyone out there
who can take on this
job description?

and pull down all the walls?

Peace is a trinket
bartered with a gun
it's a great topic of conversation
but don't try to start one

though we have been a nation of warriors with good cause, now we are just warmongers, with an idiot for CinC. oops, sorry, I lost my mind for a sec

Peace, Joe

seeking the serendipitous magical mysteries of life's ubiquitous twisteries

some cruel,cold and frightening happenings going on ,that's for sure.Make's me think if there's a creator out there,it's got a different concept of what peace is.Peace of mind or a spiritual peace might be the only peace we know in this lifetime.Maybe the human race will evolve to place where enough people want peace on earth that it happens...ok thats enough,to much fullmoon and thought provoking reading...Thanks for sharing your feelings Kacy...

Joe, your mind is just fine. Peace is elusive, perhaps just a figment of our imagination, a fantasy dream some of us cling to tenaciously.

Ray, you've made a very good point there, that our definitions of "Peace" may be totally different. Some nights, like last night, I stare at the full moon and wish that (S)he could speak out, and give us a hint as to what direction we must take next in order to have some semblance of PEACE on this globe.

True Peace hasn't found its way to humankind as yet - and the future of our world surely becomes more and more volatile with every passing day. I'm with you - Wherein lies the solution?

Thanks for spending a moment here, Nan.
