The Hidden War

Not outside, but inside
we wage the silent battle
of wills and egos ...
Nothing can appease them!

So fond are we of our own
opinions, that we don't listen
to our children, to our neighbors,
at home or abroad ... "I'm right, your wrong!"

Like spoiled children
we think only of ourselves,
wanting more, needing more,
ravenous and mindless to the suffering of others.

We feed our insatiable appetites,
but nothing can satisfy
the one who thinks only of himself.
No longer human but machine ...

The engine of war is a mindless one,
feeding on it's own passion,
it sees nothing else,
only it's immediate desire.

Peace is not so very far ...
It is only one step away
from selfish desires,
from arrogance and pride.

Sisters and Brothers
of the World Unite!
Open your eyes ...
to the contented heart within!

And all of the above and all the below! May I plead just a "little guilty"... (Well, maybe a little more than a little guilty...) So much truth to what you say!
Straight to my library! Much enjoyed.
