Imagine Living In Peace For Today
IMAGINE LIVING IN PEACE FOR TODAY
World peace, is there really such a thing?
Distress, troubles are woven to this world,
not only now; but throughout our history.
Power, greed in forms of possessions, wealth
are the forces moving rulers to invade, seize
territories for their own glory, greatness.
They take great pleasure in each conquest,
shared with selected classes, ranks while
many are left on their own to struggle that
their hunger gets unnoticed, poverty ignored.
World peace, is there really such a thing?
Peace is in our troubled mind and heart
at this time; however, wars have been
raging on in different places of the world.
Take Israel’s conflict against neighboring
countries continuously going on for years.
The wars and conflicts in the Middle East,
Africa, Asia ravaging numerous countries.
The truth is there is no world peace, it is
the reality and no world leader could
bring truce, peace throughout the world.
The world peace exists in our imagination.
Take a moment, a moment of stillness
and find your inner calm, the calm
in the center of your life, the soothing
center to think of love, joy and peace.
Imagine, living in peace for today.
Living in peace for this moment; not
for tomorrow and not for yesterday.
For we don’t know what tomorrow
will bring and yesterday is gone.
You will not find peace in the world
for the external world is always in flux.
There is peace deep within you, delve
in the deepest depth of your being.
Stay still; imagine living from your center
in peace for the moment, living for today.
