Austrians Say Their Peace

When are you far right.? If for peace you call'
Where is far left..? Right now it takes my breath.'
Can't some democrats be Christian.? Who decides
On what, is what.? Like even stevens..We don"t hear
About him now, a playground adage he helped somehow?
Make it clear' yet along with kids not climbing trees, the offence of dirt
And fresh skinned knees, the label placers run amok
Handing out words the keep as stock' I see politicans
Austrian too..left the building, did Elvis get a view.? he had
His faults from what I hear.? Yet his passion for the U S
I beleive was clear.' Austrians can be the same.' Their land
Has vowed 'kein kreig' being as hitler is their shame.! And so
zelensky's session they left.. peace markers standing mute
Upon their desks.! What say you.? What do you think.?
Poets peers whats in your ink.? Wtite me something the
World is bleeding.' People are straving children dreaming
Of food of love a place thats safe.'  Am i misleading? Yet war is raging in your
Face.' overtly peaceful institutions toil; to divide and
Conquer attain the land;? divide the spoils.' Their time is short
Their influence bought, the progress they offer is value naught.!

Hi Joe; well said; unfortunately, there is no way out of this mess, for the world, but for many to lay down their lives. The question is, does Jesus want us to be physically submissive, allow ourselves to be nailed to crosses, or try and protect future generations from even deeper tyranny? A famous American Navel Chaplain, during the heat of battle around him, seeing young men dying whom he minister to, rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Praise the Lord...and pass the ammunition!"

A well-written piece my dear friend Joe. I'm so delighted to read your poetry tonight. Quite so busy to read/hear some other issues from other parts of the world especially lately and I'm glad to learn a lot from this awesome piece. All i can say is, just cling to Jesus for nothing is impossible for Him. I enjoyed your poem my dear friend. Thanks a lot for sharing. Blessings to you always and your writings. Hugs

"Peace organizations ... Their influence bought, "are induced of lack of peace for the rest of our lifetimes. I cling to Jesus ... As Jim Goff does six months after a FIRE took everything he had in home on Earth. Yet his faith is teaching me .... Shalom, shalom in Jesus, brother Maverick
