War or Peace
Which of our ancient languages, nations and religions are more important than preserving Creation ?
My language is ''British'', my math is ''Arabic'', my government is ''Greek'',
my religions are ''Mid-Eastern'', my chemistry from ''Chinese'',
my automobile from ''France'', my radio from ''Italy'',
my nuclear physics from a ''Jew'' in ''Germany '',
and my body is a ''Mammal'' from ''Pangaea''.
I am not a ''nation'' or a ''religion''.
I am Humanity.
Who wins, when to glorify our own ancient fabrications, we destroy our Foundation ?
Will Humanity decide what their nations and religions will do ?
Or will our barbaric inventions command us ?
Have our invisible borders and magic beliefs replaced Life and Truth ?
Is Humanity already extinct? Trapped in the inventions of a corrupt medevil past ?
and already conquered, and ruled, and destroyed by its own ancient, barbaric inventions ?
How free are we to Love Life, Love Humanity, and Love Creation ?
How Long can the Truth be forbidden and outlawed, and Humanity survive without it ?
Did the 'sword' determine which nation and religion was the 'good' one?
Will Our Bombs?
Whose ancestors were NOT 'Barbarians' ?
If we can say that others are 'wrong', then,
we must admit that we can also be just as wrong.
The power and strength of life is not in its ability to destroy,
But its ability to feed and save this creation.
If we allow ourselves to be told to attack and kill others for being 'wrong',
for learning the ''wrong'' languages , for saluting the ''wrong'' flags,
for worshipping the ''wrong'' stones, for being born on the ''wrong'' continent,
then we must also accept it when they kill us over mere words,
over the mere flags and stone gods of ancient, flat earth beliefs.
Attackers remain the greatest threat to Life.
Weapons made by Human Minds are falling into the hands of the mindless.
Killing is easy, but if our goal is to be 'Correct', then,
keeping 'Different' people Alive is the Real Challenge for Humanity.
Protect those who see things differently,
because Humanity did not grow from ignorance to wisdom through killing,
we did it by Saving.
We created our 'Today', by sharing NEW and DIFFERENT ideas
and admitting when WE were wrong,
so that Humanity could Grow.
