Have you ever stood
still and felt
An overwhelming tenderness
A deep sorrow
Watching the world as you know it
Collapse in one great rubble?
Will you feel rage and hatred?
Will you feel compassion and care?
Will you think how you will make them pay?
Will you think how you can help them heal?
When you greet fire with fire
You make a gigantic ball
Until its big enough to topple
Everything on its way
Have you seen fire greet calm water
And meet in tranquillity?
The great fire quiets as its passed
From one calming presence to another
I am not a great hero nor done any great deeds
But this much I can be, a bearer of hope
To let the pained souls know love is possible
And maybe the great ball will quiet as its passed
From one loving heart to another

IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY tighten the tourniquet
suffocating my fingertips
let the blood run stiff
through my blue veins
puncture wounds of medicine
homemade remedies
of love and lives lost
tears fall down my cheeks
as i see the pain melt away
in aquamarine sheets
of turquoise flames
this is better
than living
with the pains
the sickness in my stomach
when i wake up in the morning
and fall asleep at night
squeeze the skin tight
around my frame
as my cheekbones
protrude from my face
cutting through the flesh
this is no life
in foreign times of darkness
off in pale deserts
of destruction
lost and alone
in camouflage
a warrior told me
i would live forever
with his bible turned upside down
and his accent
twisting in the air
a twang of Texas barbeque
and false homeland security
long live the king
with his pitch fork
as he dances around the fire
holding hands
with the devil
in the name of democracy

Peace is not easy to find Peace is not easy to
find.
It is no catch phrase, but
It is a goal, that is always achievable,
for all of us,
but skills are required to find it.
When I think of peace, I think of great people who deeply believed
in it, and stood up for the bringing about of it, no matter what.
-Martin Luther King Jr.-
-Ghandi-
-Emma Goldman-
Do a search on google, and learn about these great people...
The point is,
Peace is worth standing up for, peacefully.
Peace is dignity, love, braveness, empathy, understanding, and
patience...
I have not always lived in peace,
but I have always tried,
and I always will.
When people talk of war for peace,
I truly feel that they don't know what peace is.
Peace is a choice that we make.
