PEACE KEEPERS
We say we have to keep the 'peace'.
But peace has to be free.
Since keeping 'peace' is costing lives
Then 'peace' it can not be.
We don't keep peace with tanks and guns.
We keep sporatic war
Between the sides that can't agree
On what they're living for.
Real peace is like the air we breathe,
A medium of life
That fills the space between us and
Allows no room for strife.
By living life that's natural
Peace we would generate.
Because we try to fill the void
We have this present state
Of having to prevent the fights
About the ways we try
In vain to fill the void within
With varied reasons why.
Reach out to our capacities,
To others and to God.
With life lines running parallel
There'd be no need to prod.
This natural activity
Yields peace we can't contain;
And as it suffocates the wars
"Ideal" life will remain.

My voice should be heard
I say peace to you
peace to your home
peace to your town
peace to your country
peace to your state
peace to your continent
peace to our planet
peace for our generation
peace for future generation
where is the peace?
We still making machine gun
We Still discriminate each others because color and race or origin
there will be no peace
Until we stop distributing machine gun our world
until we respect and love enough to control distribution of machine gun
there will not be peace
until we tolerate each others faith
until we care about our neighbors
until we all come together fight again drug in our neighbor
until we gave fair access to all kids in school
peace is not a words it is a universal religion ,
if you have faith,
If We will act on it
We will have better world.
At the End only Love is our solution for peace.
Love is our key to survive in nuclear world.

Almost well said. If I may..."(If) we respect and love enough" the demand for "machine gun" will wither. "...there will not be peace" until we abandon the faiths that we feel compelled to defend. "...until we care about our neighbors...until we all come together" to create a social structure from which no one will wish to escape through drugs..."(that gives equal) access to all kids in school..." Love is only one of the consequences of "our key to survive in nuclear (free) world."....Doug.E.Barr
we share the same feelings about keeping peace and sometimes lives pay for it. is it worth it (peacekeeping)?was once a peace officer,never really wanted war to enforce peace.but how can we make peace to he outlaws?when guns can't ... the heart can ....

There will only be the peace we don't have to keep, in the spaces between us when we agree we have a common purpose. If we never concur, we will continue trying to keep peace with war and the threat of war and eventually self-destruct. Doug.E.Barr
well without peace
there will not be
a tomorrow for anyone
and so i encourage
everyone on this planet
to help it become one
