Crusade
Dogs of war unleashed, attack a mercy fleet
Attempt withhold aid, food, medical supplies
Kill or maim peace activists, impound ships
While astonished world can’t believe its eyes
1.5 million Souls occupy the Gaza Strip
Held captive in the world’s largest prison
Unable to escape the sting of Israeli whips
Apathetic U.S.A. ignores annihilation
Angry neighbor Nations threaten war
But hesitate in fear of nuclear retaliation
The threat of extinction they can’t ignore
So they growl, posture, voice admonition
Past “Holy War” is now being replayed
A fight for Temple Mount aka “Crusade”

We Are In A War We Do Not Want To Be In
WE ARE IN A WAR WE DO NOT WANT TO BE IN (An Israeli Poem – Prayer)
We are in a War we do not want to be in
We fight to survive
And regret when we kill and maim our enemies
Human beings.
We would define ourselves
As walking in the way of God
In compassion
But to survive
We cannot always be kind.
We fight to live
And yet in our souls we regret
And wonder why
We cannot just be at Peace
And give and love and be kind to
Everyone
All our neighbors.
We do not want to die
And we don’t want to kill
We want to live
And we want to love.
May God somehow bring us to true Friendship and Peace
With all of Humanity.

Nuclear War
Now is the time to
Unleash what is long overdue.
Cincture the fear of nations.
Lock the wheel of proliferation.
Eternity is forever.
Atomic bombs should be never.
Revolving longheartedly in this world,
Working for the extinction of nuclear war
Allows us to give this world a whirl
Refusing to initiate the beginning of nuclear war.

Why Do I Go
There are those who ask me why?
Why do I go to fight fight and maybe die.
For many reasons I answer the call.
Some will understand others not at all.
Because I am a warrior
my given orders I must obey.
To seek and destroy all those
who align with evildoers.
Because of my ideals and values.
Yes I will go I will man the lines.
I will fight because my heart tells me.
I must protect my loved ones.
My loved ones because I cannot bear
perception of their pain
or forever gone from my care.
Yes I must respond.
I go because I believe tyrants threaten.
To gain dominance by force
instill fear and harm.
To innocent gentle souls.
I go because somewhere
someone's freedom.
is jeophardized.
Held captive of terror and threat.
I must fight despite great odds.
Keeping safe all people's right.
To live and choose freely
to realize each's hopes and dreams.
To protect the privilege
of everyone's natural right
to voice unafraid their feelings.
To carry on that fight I must go.

War and Peace
'There is in this world that eternal battle'
the General said
'between Good and Evil.
There can be no compromise;
each nation needs living space
and those who follow Evil
will not hesitate
to take yours
and that means,
some of the time,
War.
War is the ultimate expression
of Evil vs. Good
and inevitable.'
Peace spoke:
War is for those who profit from War
and every war ends in Peace
and diplomacy,
Why not skip the destruction and killing
save human lives
and go straight to the Peace?
Nation-State spoke:
Ah, you Peace forget War
is more than the interval between
the Peace
because War decides which people
will be free
and which people will be oppressed.
Peace you misunderstand;
soldiers fight to preserve their country-mens' lifestyles
their families
and those five dollar lattes.
Ah, indeed in War and Peace
someone wins
and someone loses' Nation-State said.
Peace spoke:
Well, Nation-State, that used to be true
but not anymore.
Nuclear holocaust has no winners,
only losers.
A radioactive planet
where no one can live
for a thousand years
is not victory
but massive defeat for everyone.
.
Nothing to celebrate.
You '
Peace said
to the General
'cannot fulfill your main mission
which is to protect the population.
The foe you fight can blow up
all of their nuclear weapons
and the fall out will drift and kill
the rest of us
without even an attack.
You soldiers have to learn new tricks.
You can't really protect us.
All that is gone. You have to retire that side-gun
and sit at the diplomat's table.
'Peace 'Peace said'
has come to depend upon successful social ecology
and restraining those who would have us kill ourselves
in order to preserve our lives.

Sonnet: The World has Aplenty
The earth has place for more people to live;
Its trees have wood for more houses to build;
Its soil can generate more food and give;
There isn’t a dearth of good souls for a guild.
The rivers have fresh-water plentiful;
The earth has much reserve of oil and ore;
If peace prevails, earth looks so beautiful;
The rich nations cannot the poor ignore.
The money/ food wastage can millions feed;
Each man must love his neighbor honestly;
The brotherhood of nations is the need;
The human race is one and one must be!
Wake up humans! There is no time to waste;
Let not your greed enslave others in haste!

A Changing World
Let it be shouted to all that will hear,
We live in a world of anger and fear
A battle rages between darkness 'n light,
Aspects of creation, determined to fight
Death between brothers, war knowing no end,
To strike a balance, man's will must now bend
To end war of those that once were friends,
God intervenes, an Archangel He sends
An Angel of mercy, compassion, peace
His mighty voice heralds,
'All war shall now cease! '
Eden restored by Heaven's Envoy,
Established again love, peace and Joy

One More
Wicked prophets kill... speaking his name
In the glory of an innocent age
A king is born to a house filled with rage
One mans fear is another mans truth, one fear
The blind suffer at the hands of sin
Lines are drawn where the boundaries begin
Ten thousand broken, by the madness within
Broken
One more, cry in the night... one more
One more, war left to fight ...one more
One life, cut down by fire
Once childs, angry desire... one more
Hearts of stone, pride without shame
Wicked prophets, kill while speaking his name
As the heavens, fall from the sky
Fallin
Brother to brother, blood on their hands
Desolation in the kingdom of man
Holy vengeance is the justice of hell
Mercy, mercy
One more, cry in the night... one more
One more, war left to fight ...one more
One life, cut down by fire
Once childs, angry desire... one more
Wings of fire... drums of thunder
No more, no more
One more, cry in the night... one more
One more was, was left to fight... one more
One life, cut down by fire
One childs angry desire... one more
One more, one

Gaza (Palestine)
Stop the killing
Gaza is bleeding
She's bleeding dying kids
She's bleeding mothers' tears
Where is the leniency?
Let's overcome the inhumanity
Let's live with mercy
Let's have a life without brutality
Now we know the truth
We know the fake peace
We see the lies that devils try to smooth
We will fight for peace
Peace is what we are looking for
Peace screams and wails with every breath
Peace is the world cure
Peace is our desire on earth

The sea is safe tonight
The sea my dear
Is a battle hardened warrior
And he fights his own battles
He is The John Cena of nature
He fights the fair fight
He never loses he has grabbed
Many whaling ships and oil spilling
Merchant ships and the submarines
And the sea has sunk them all for
The sake of us and our to children
He did all this for us
Who cannot live without
The water that sustains life
All God's creatures are not
Threatened with extinction
There is peace in the universe
Every one sticks close to their lovers
And every creature is engaged in the
Gentle act for the species must mate
To ensure the survival and the continued
Existence of more of it's own
There is peace in the universe there
Is joy because a calf and a cup
Is born to the joy of the world
There is calm and everlasting peace
In the world and a child is born
And there is cheering and thankful
Crying in every home for the mercy
Of nature has blessed the world
With a lover of nature
There is peace and serenity on earth
And the sea is safe tonight and you my friend
Be a brother to nature and the sea
The vast sea will love you
Be a sister to nature and the sea
The vast will love you and protect you
And you're an angel
The happy creatures of the universe
Wants you to pray for them

Our United Nations

to achieve world peace;

Answer officially
a total of 26 days

since those mass
annihilation days
back in 1945 wars.
Batting total of 26 days
in ticking war torn 66 years;
wars blaze slays pays.
In realistic some ways

some war fought forms
of profit wars,
exist at all times;
in some places.
United Nations

A Door To World Peace
The door to world peace is open.
All nations are invited to come in.
A welcome mat is available for every one,
And rogue nations may enter again.
The door to world peace is open
And no nation is turned away,
But if few decide not to enter the fold,
Peace will be shortlived in every way.
Peace keepers fill our hearts with hope,
And attempt to dry our heavy tears,
And open hearts for sound relationships
That will last for many delightful years.
A nation that is closed to others
Grows harder than concrete or stone,
And the people who reside there
Are destined to be isolated and alone.
If you slam the door on some nations,
Peace initiatives will continue to cease,
But if all nations are willing to compromise,
What a difference it can make to seek peace?
Skeptical nations will always wonder
How world peace might have been
When the door was open for them to enter,
But they failed to come in.

We can't be called people anymore
In my world there are secrets untold......
There is evil unleashed
The devil is in your head
God has died and unlives forever
Bc in my world life has not existed yet
Love is not a word
Hate is what we believe in
In my world there are people that kill souls
Souls whom have killed
Bc in my world this life people think they have.......I have taken it away from them I have taken there souls I have killed the good and in my world there is nothing else.........but to die..........luisa aka ÞŠŸÇHÖ

post Glacial Rebound Effect
Wonder why there are so many earthquakes?
The answer may not be what you expect
Why are so many States now giant lakes?
The answer; “Post glacial rebound effect”
World oceans over one foot have risen
Putting heavy pressure on tectonic plates
There is no way water can be kept in prison
As Earth expands, as water accommodates
Many islands n’ lowlands soon to suffer
As rising water begins to overwhelm
There shall be no relief or buffer
We must trust that God is at the helm
Be prudent n’ set aside essentials
For supermarkets’ one day may close
Demand will grow for bare essentials
Like food, medical supplies n’ clothes
The Feds have lied about global warming
When in fact the very opposite is true
They aggravate a planet already storming
Goading quakes, storms n’ volcanoes to spew
“They would never do that” you may say
“I trust the government to take care of me”
You know not there’s so much more at play
Since they fooled you into group conformity
Inform yourself no longer be a “Sheeple”
Join the ranks again of “We the People”

There is no Fear
The people of this world, if against they stand,
There is no fear, there is no fear, nothing like fear.
Although, we are counted cheap and rebuked,
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.
If to beg for food, would be a life attained,
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.
Loveable possessions if, are lost,
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.
2. If clothed bosomed damsels, cast their eyes
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.
Poison in the mouth, if fed by friends
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.
Shielded armies, if to attack approach
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.
On the acme of my head, if the sky did crash and plummet down
There is no fear , there is no fear , nothing like fear.

All Blood Bleeds Red When Shot
peace activists do not wait
for a window of opportunity
free of political restraints
ignore state imposed sanctions
fair-weather or foul protest
devote lives to causes of peace
or agendas to better society
peace activists ignore spin doctors
political rhetoric spreading hate
divide conquer invasion messages
all humans embrace as brothers
all blood bleeds red when shot

Psalm 46 part 1
The church's safety and triumph among national desolation.
God is the refuge of his saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade
Ere we can offer our complaints,
Behold him present with his aid.
Let mountains from their seats be hurled
Down to the deep, and buried there,
Convulsions shake the solid world,
Our faith shall never yield to fear.
Loud may the troubled ocean roar,
In sacred peace our souls abide,
While every nation, every shore,
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.
There is a stream, whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God;
Life, love, and joy still gliding through,
And wat'ring our divine abode.
That sacred stream, thine holy word,
That all our raging fear controls:
Sweet peace thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls.
Zion enjoys her Monarch's love,
Secure against a threat'ning hour;
Nor can her firm foundations move,
Built on his truth, and armed with power.

We Kill The World
I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms.
I see rockets, missiles in the sky.
Day by day, more and more,
Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
Poor world, poor world.
Concrete's rising up,
Where yearerday was park
You heard the robin's song
Heavy tractor runs
Where air was clean and cool
Make money, bringing fuel.
Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
A poor world, poor world.
Fishes doomed to die
As people live close by
And oaktree falls with moon
Parking lots will come
With flowerfields were bright
As junkyard covers sight!
Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
Poor world, is hurting bad,
Poor world, is doomed to die.
We kill the world
Kill the world
We surely do
In peace we do!
We kill the world
Kill the world
'cause we don't know
What we are doing!
We kill it
One by one
Don't realize!
And nuclear piles stand like monuments
Of destruction throughout over the country
Promenades must go
So cars can drive in row
New fact'ry towers tall
Farmhouse had to fall
No flowers in the air
Pollution everywhere.
Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
A poor world, poor world.
Oceans in despair
There's rubbish everywhere
The seaweed chokes in mud
Nature's had her lot
With nuclear waste and rot
And mushrooms bloom as clouds.
Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
Poor world, is hurting bad,
Poor world, is doomed to die.
We kill the world...
Don't kill the world
Don't let her down.
Do not destroy basic ground.
Don't kill the world
Our means of life.
Lend ear to nature's cry.
Don't kill the world
She's all we have,
And surely is worth to save.
Don't let her die,
Fight for her trees,
Pollution robs air to breathe.
Don't kill the world
Help her survive
And she'll reward you with life
And don't just talk,
Go on and do the one, who wins is you.
Cherish the world,
A present from god
On behalf of all creatures,
Made by the lord
Care for the earth,
Foundation of life
Slow progress down help her survive

The War
Strangers are the souls in the world of the wars
The lives cradle somehow between the death and life
They try to survive the hardship of the life the abject truths of life are there with all their ugly faces
The mercy of hearts are extinguished
The spirits at the cruelty of the men got lost
What the eyes sees the heart ignores
Ah strangers are the souls at the winter night they shiver alone
Like wounded birds they are pale ignored
Alone in this world no place for the broken souls
People are selfish their hearts deny to see others pain
Only in the war you can clearly see the simple truths of the world,

Wherever You Are
Wherever you are in this moment, that is your place
You have to learn some lesson, learn it with grace.
When you learned it, you will not be there anymore,
Don't oppose, just go along, face it, but don't ignore.
If you gripe, oppose, get angry or start drinking,
Neither will help you to get through sooner in your living.
Get wisdom, find understanding, then you will know what to do,
Until then go on in peace and know it shall pass too.
Everything is passing and tomorrow it shall fade,
Only your memory can hold it for more then a decade.
However, if you let it go, give it into God's hand,
You will never have heart attack, alzhimers or cancer,
You will always surely stand.
We cannot control others, what we see, it is in us,
We can control only ourselves to ignore whatever it was.
If we stop dwelling and doing what we see out there,
Our life will clear up from that, we'll became sincere.
The best is to dwell on beauty and harmony,
Ignore the messages from the world, they are phoney.
Accept the truth, which is peace and kindness,
Eventually your world around will show that goodness.
