The United Nations, whose membership comprises almost all the states in the world, is founded on the principle of the equal worth of every human being.

This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free. … We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the scriptures and is as clear as the American Constitution. The heart of the question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.

The United Conference of Hemispheres
How about...
The United States?
'No.
That's what we're called now! '
Oh...
You're right.
I forgot.
Well..
How about,
The United Federation of Americas?
'Hmmm...
Now that does have a ring.
With Canada, Mexico...
And the current United States.
I like the sound of it! '
Or...
How about,
The United Western Hemisphere?
'YES!
That's brilliant.
We'll have a meeting this weekend,
To discuss it!
But we must go slowly with this.
The people are already going nuts over the economy!
But I do love this idea.
We'll have the United Northern Hemisphere.
The United Eastern Hemisphere.
And the United Southern Hemisphere.
Whenever we come to meet...
We'll call ourselves,
The United Conference of Hemispheres!
Pass that by President Obama.
See if he approves before the announcement is made!
We must consolidate all nations as soon as possible.'

If I Were The Chief Of UNO!
If I become the Chief of United Nations Organisation,
I shall work for the formation of One Human World,
Which will supersede the Utopia of Thomas More,
Which will be better than Atlantis of Francis Bacon!
United Nations will be the Parliament of the World;
There will be Unity in Diversity among all Nations;
There will be Single Currency for all the Nations;
There will be one language for communication!
United Nations will control the security of the world;
All Weapons of Mass Destruction will be in its hands;
Nuclear Weapons will be in store to blast off asteriods
When they reach near the Earth to cause holocaust!
There will be common laws for all the nations to follow;
Education will cover agriculture, industry, science, arts
and give training in army too to give choice to choose
Jobs after education for all to live in peace, love and bliss!

My Saying
I gain my saying from nervous tissue,
Awakening from the world that studies;
States are united on this, provinces reply
To the language scents, the smell of roses.
Nations build strength, nations sow seeds
Called humans who are human beings.
Philosophy considers and contemplates
As a people who think, the opposite of evil.
To think more than you think is terrifying
Yet terror seizes you by the throat and stagnates
Your human-like mind, you are not an animal.
This plant in front of me means growth for heaven
To consider it pleasant, like our dream we had.

The law of nations is naturally founded on this principle, that different nations ought in time of peace to do one another all the good they can, and in time of war as little injury as possible, without prejudicing their real interests.

Godhood
A perplexed THOUGHT loomed in a pondering CONSCIOUSNESS
To ask a desperate question:
who is GOD so that we may know
What is of GOD so that we may serve
Where is GOD so that we may go to worship
An answer from the deep a biding WISDOM surged:
GOD, there is no such as of particular PERSON
GOD, there is no such as in need of your WORSHIP
GOD, there is no such as of individualized
outside YOU
In all sparks the might O God
In all dwells the essence of GOD
In all moves the creative power of God
That and that comprises GODHOOD
That and that comprises GOD BEING
That and that comprises GOD CONSCIOUSNESS
All is : GOD the PRIME
GOD the PROCESS
GOD the PRODUCT
The overall PRINCIPLE OF THIS COSMICTRINITY is LOVE
Attune to it in PRAYER and MEDITATION
Therein lies service to GODHOOD

The Un These Days Sept 27th,2012
The United Nations does not seem to be one bit united,
Screaming strange words at each other; getting all excited,
Religious dictatorships seem to hate Israel with a passion,
The so-called United Nations doesn't seem to have much compassion
If Canada quit the UN, would anyone care or know?
Is this something we should have done maybe forty years ago?
Have you heard anything good about the United Nations?
How much does this cost in our expensive tax donations?
Every dictator or potentate seems to be on his way there,
To scream his hatred and justify being a billionaire,
If Canadians had referendums, we could ask each other,
Then we'd know for sure, if we should be involved or even bother.
