If Only.
"I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it"
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)
Could there truely be power in one single word?
To turn things around in this fast changing world?
Imagine an Earth where there is no more hate.
No lives on the line over questions of state.
Imagine a world where we never say "War".
Where Peace is so real, it needs no fighting for.

No matter how pure your yang, there's always going to be someone coming along who thinks it needs a little yin.

A lovely dream but human natures does not change. Belligerence is a built in fault

Would be nice, wouldn't it? Ah, but then, like John Lennon, some loon sneaks up and pulls the trigger. While we should always seek out peace and nurture it, still we must be prepared for standing up to those who are not as enlightened as we are. You know, those bullies, those tyrants that rage, that want more than is theirs. So, the truth is, we must stand guard and be ready to quash those who would uncork the horror of abuse and of terror. Good poem, and I agree with the sentiment, truly.
