Brother peace, sister love.

(A prayer for peace)
I had sat by graves of 20,000 Soldiers killed in World War two outside of Paris. Men who died for freedom. The last war. I wonder would they understand the blunders of their children?
The world celebrated salvation and peace on a good day on September 2, 1945.
Brother peace and sister love was alive and well.
My father followed his father into new wars. I joined to served the cause of war. Peace was rarely spoken in my generation. Today war is alive and well. Hate and greed is the goal of foolish men.
People tell me peace is a dream of utopia lost in some fairytale.
They shot a fifteen year girl on a school bus because she wanted education. Killed 20 children in a school. Six and seven years old kids learning death and fear. Rich nations sending drones into countries to kill without pity. Death had become a business. Human life a secondary priority.
Brother peace is broken. The world had fell apart and no-one understand the new wars. Are we fighting for oil? For land or religion? War is man’s sin. Brother peace is forgotten in a world led by Berserkers.
I’m tire of war. I don’t want my child to fight because of made-up ghosts and old hate. If we don’t stop and learn forgiveness. Will my child follow my path?
People who tell me I’m foolish and wars won’t end till we are all dead. I wonder how will they feel when they receive a flag and to listen to a 21 gun salute?
Brother peace, sister love are one. Race, color and religion won’t matter to a gun. We must embrace love and peace. Leader of the four corners of our world must gather. Go to their knees. Pray for peace and salvation.
This is one planet with one people. We must share the gifts of mother nature.
We must embrace brother peace and sister love for the sake of all the children.
Before we kill all things that are beautiful.
War is Man‘s sin.
Thank you for reading.

And I believe in a “well regulated militia” ~ the other side of the 2nd Amendment that the gun freaks won’t admit makes them responsible ~ for 20 dead kids… Must I soften the message?
Peace, John. Thank you.
Has Peltier been released from prison yet? I hope so…
Peltier is still in prison. A million signature to Obama and got no reaction. No-one in the civil sector need a machine gun. Thank you for the comment.
Obama must be reminded of Peltier his last few months in office. I believe that’s when a US president usually lets folks out of prison. This is just off the top of my head…
He released 17 prisoners in February. Peltier is feared. I wish I knew why? Native American’s are more organized today than anytime in history.
“Race, color and religion won’t matter to a gun.”
Amen.
Fantastic.
I saw some terrible things done to the poor people in the way of violence and war. I pray my children and all children can have a safe world. Thank you for the comment.

I love this!
Are you a veteran?
Yes. 15 years active duty, Army. Thank you for reading. Seeing war make you want peace and safety for all people.
Wow! I only read about war in Jeffrey Archer’s books. Never experienced it myself. I hope you write a book about it.
I hope you are safe from war. Few safe places in our world. I have three books waiting for time to re-write. Maybe one day.
I hope one day is pretty soon so I can buy one.

Thank you for the nomination. I do appreciate.
Never give up speaking for peace. Thanks for your post.
Thank you for the comment. I keep praying and writing for peace for the sake of my kids and grand kids now. All children need a safe world, food and opportunity.
Well spoken John.
Thank you Valentine. The title came into my head yesterday and I had to write this poem.
I absolutely agree with you John! When will it all end??? We must take prayer and our God seriously to pray for the peace of the world. It will not happen unless we all get on our collective knees and pray to God for peace that the world does not know.

I agree. Will take all people and religions to act as one. Prayer for love and peace can lead us to good places.
