Peace is 2012 Vision
I have to laugh I just looked for a poem to compliment the last post. I found this one straight away. Peace is not an ideal, it is who you are. You are that beauty I see. You have come to this blog to find yourself, it doesn’t matter if it is for work that you are here. There are no coincidences in life. Do you believe that?
PEACE IS A 2012 VISION
The puzzle is in pieces,
Rather than being figured out,
For the peak oil of frustration,
Throws the rubrics cube to the ground,
For patience solves problems
at the source,
For it is not about winning,
It is about warming,
Understanding the process is the way,
That is simple and always true.
Our planet is unique,
A diamond cluster set with many faces,
Each perspective reflects a different mirror,
Yet who is to say what truth is?
Without exploring all facets,
As life is not a media visual sound byte,
Or described from a lecturer’s podium,
It lives and dies in an endless rhythm,
That is governed by forces that cannot be seen,
For invisible signals are traffic lights
Of self regulation without effort,
Playing each part with the whole in mind,
Is where we find inner peace.
Out of touch with reality,
Forcing outcomes,
Speaking without knowing,
Knowing without speaking,
Assuring the world that all is in control,
When we lost control by manufacturing consent,
And true value is altruistic,
A given,
That is free for you or me,
Within a system that knows only profit over prophets,
As the true knowledge was a shallow grave.
The real crime against humanity controls freedom,
Judges infinite perfection,
Steals from shared bounty,
Pollutes what was pristine,
Conditions love as in-formation what was formed in love,
Silencing freedom of speech,
Excluding the human family,
By offering dialogue rather than communicating in truth,
For the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was a first step emerging from the cradle of civilization,
To remind all of the common ancestry,
A common wealth,
Revealing more is in common.
Differences are not visible without prejudice,
Conflict arises out of misunderstandings,
Harmony sees the other in yourself,
Holding hands leads us all home,
But who will take up this offering,
A blessing disguised as challenge,
For will you strike my cheek in offence?
When the test resurfaces silence as visibility empowers you in the open,
For you can only respond when truth-full,
And then act upon what is known,
As the unknown is a circle without end.
Love and compassion is the key to the door that exits the maize,
As the hall of mirrors distorts what is real,
And love is the answer to any puzzle in which humanity suffers,
For selflessness cannot seek self interest,
As best interest is the call of the future.
As the old is cast aside by a new earth rise,
Rising in a solar system of possibilities,
As the comet traces the sky with its tale,
We cannot fail to choose peace over war,
In thought, word and deed,
For this is the sacred creed of the renewed Earth Charter,
To carry all in a new direction that is kind,
Where sustainability returns to the world our peace of mind,
As that is the puzzle solved,
For we finally have resolved to evolve the greatest version of the grandest vision of who we really are,
In 2012.
