Have you ever questioned the truth about peace?
Perhaps it is an elusive naive word that doesn’t exist.
Infants understand the realities of Elysian Fields
By three a tyke knows angry voices less quiesce
Voices speak of truce and safety for all mankind
The words disappear from oceans of ill-willed hate
Intolerance comes from within sacred sanctuaries
Holy words of no value lest having peace of a mind
And God is behind the loathing of The Daughters of Eve?
Who love each other in a way that I don’t perceive
Who are we that dare utter the heart that God is abhorrent
Oh lord – it is we who’ve caused you to grieve
And the nations rumble for the true children to birth
Bringing forward humble gracefulness on this earth
The possibilities for this generation to gain insights
Could it be that one human could change lending mirth
What about ten, twenty, five thousand souls who then see
Reflecting on the noose hung around the branch of a tree
A person hated because the color of the skin is different
Eyes wide open, the sins of kin, and self idiosyncrasies
The question of peace rolls around again and again
It returns void and useless unless understood by a man
The way of serenity and tolerance begins with oneself
Thus the ways of God drown by our actions
And will then ~ forever wane
For the peace of God begins with ‘we.’
Otherwise, truly peace, will never be

Will Not Receive My Backing
Trump will not receive any of my backing,
While from him are receiving a shellacking;
Total trouble make;
Being breath taker;
Sailboat turned over after all of his tacking.

What we have of Trump is a barrage; Has become painful and need a message; To alleviate; Would be great; Beginning to think moron is a mirage. James Horn

We’ll truthfully, Trump never came to my mind. Intolerance on both sides did. Have a peaceful journey. One person at a time.

Our current USA president, was never on my mind when I wrote this. But, the idea of peace was and how we get there is the purpose of this poem. Where does individual peace begin when we, as people, hate anything or anyone. Is peace possible with our prejudices? Is peace a real place or is it heaven and unattainable on earth 🌏

What if peace I were to obtain;
Could it be in good weather or rain?
Bus passing by;
Under a blue sky,
Or without God we will go insane.
