Disarm from your passivity and Arm with passion in action! (The International Day of Peace-September 21st)

Dear fellow citizens, respected politicians, dignified statesmen, all people of the earth,

I plead with YOU:

Cast off your shadow of vanity

tear apart those imbecile lies

cut off the chains of arrogant misery

forget about your selfish self/plot!



Let gentle winds and pure waters

cover you with new sensations

Let children's laughter and human's touch

permeate within your twisted vapors.



Oil spilled and blackened the water

Diamonds glittered and caused massive slaughter

Gold, Silver, Jade and Gems,

oh, Nature's wonders revealing

the ugly face of humanity

in total disgrace!



And power balance, games unfold

nuclear warheads and missiles,

they are all part of the plot

cruel dictators, ambitious politicians

merciless and greedy multinational corporations...



will anyone "surrender" their greedy wishes?

And favor the excluded, the poor, the needy?

will anyone stand up and speak out the truth?

will Any powerful person dare make a move?

and once, once and for all end this theatre brutal, absurd?



will anyone raise the banner of peace?

without just being all self-righteous, full of pretense!?



it's not too late for a total make-over

our world still has a chance to survive

our destruction total

Nature is weeping for the oppressed

their bodies, their bruises, their hunger and grieves

they'll flood the earth, Nature will revenge!



the tides are changing...


So, dismantle the weapons, forget ancient ways

let 21st century be remembered as the age of the The Change

a grand and magnificent, an all-encompassing sublime phase

of human's highest moral standing and unselfish acts/deeds


change your weapons of destruction

to such that yield mass Construction (development)

create a Force of children-

empowered by knowledge and wisdom!



take oil, take diamonds,

take all that you like

turn it in Precious investments

in real human lives



Recycle your weapons

Recycle your ways

Recycle your governance

Lead your people with humility and grace!


No, don't wait for the government or for someone else


YOU are the change!


the citizen, the fighter, the voice of the oppressed,

Raise the banner and with peaceful voices, actions and faith

Speak Justice, Speak PEACE! in this torn land


in this confused and twisted world

there is a truth that lies in you:


Raise the white flag! Let PEACE be the fruit!



DISARM from your passivity, your neglect, your diconcern

and ARM with the truth, passion (in action), and a heart of love full!

p.s. in some tribes in Nigeria the raising of a white flag signifies PEACE

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE...

I WISH FOR A DAY TO COME, WHEN WORDS LIKE WAR, VICTIMS, WEAPONS, PAIN...

WILL BE ONLY PART OF HISTORY, NOT AN EVERYDAY REALITY!

Check out the rest!

A Congolese woman on the Road (To all the displaced people and all refugees everywhere)

(a displaced woman)

Again on the road

carrying bundles of clothes,

pieces of bread, empty bottles for water...

i am going ahead.

It's the road to my past

paved with strife, blood and pain,
there is no way out...

i am a stone thrown away.

It's a crossroad with no choice

and i'm stuck in the middle
guns, rape, violence, grief

blood money and greed

take over everything...

the rebels suppress us

the government's a mess

this road is our only shelter, ally in this chaos.

i' m holding my son, he's quiet and still

looking straight in the eyes, he whispers:

"what are we punished for? are we so evil?"

are we preys for the beasts?

are we migrating birds?

are we victims of men?

are we people or dust?

are we remnants of the past?

do we have human name/face?

we are the citizens without homes

the forced travelers, always on the road

the free slaves of this land

we are children of this demolished place

even the foxes have holes,

the birds have their nests

the cattle sleep in stables

but all we have... is the stars and our Faith

***

(the world)

are these shadows from our nightmares?

or ghosts haunting us for our wrongdoing?

or are they just the reflection,

of what we cannot see but what's true and apparent?

how would we know...

when their voices are silenced

when Someone has muted the truth

when the world is trying to cover

the names of these human faces

with mere numbers in the news...?

Dedicated to all displaced people and all refugees around the world: Hold on!!!

God has proclaimed through the prophet Jeremiah:

"I myself wil gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I
will place shepherds over them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing, " declares the Lord! Jer.23:3-5

Is Peace just a delusion or an arm-stretch away shore?

Inequalities, Regulations
Incentives and Ratios
International crisis and global response
constipation
Contradictions, world puzzles
Paradigms and Dilemmas,
Paradoxes and Distortions
Truth is False
and
Falsehood True
how come 1+1 still equals 2?

should we live in a cave (of ignorance)
like Plato's heroes do?

***

Justice or Order,
what's on your mind?
again in opposition,
it's - Either / Or
Peace or War -
mutually destroyed?
can Man reconcile
the Self-interest and that of All?

***

Lots are distributed
stocks piled up
flows of money come and go
yet the bottom is lied down
with bodies of the invisible
and the unknown...

***

step on them! close your eyes!
it's clear, you've chosen your path
demise and lethal end are on the way...
but who will dare take a different path
(and be doomed wrong) ...anyway...

***

put down the guns, raise up the flags
is Peace an oasis (delusion)? or an arm stretch-away shore?

...how would you know...if you don't stretch your own?
