Message of Peace

My name is the only name,
As it is the only true name,
I believe, it is the name,
For the nameless, I name.

My form is the only form,
As it is the only true form,
I believe, it is the form,
For the formless, I form.

My men are the only God-men,
As they are the only true men,
I believe, they are the men,
For the God, the God-men.

Get rid of these childish notions,
Forget about these superstitions,
And believe in your own religion,
But never belittle any other religions.

For the wicked, the world is hell,
But for the good, it is heaven,
The lover says, the world is of love,
But for the hater, it is of hate,
The fighter sees nothing but strife,
But the peaceful, nothing but peace,
What you want is what you get,
So change yourself and change the world.

Many wise words here, Jenish… E.g., the last line, which is change we can really believe in!... I am reminded of Johnny Cash's song, 'The Man in Black,' recorded on a college campus in 2009. If you've never seen/heard it, I'd recommend the music video highly. Think you'd enjoy it. Bravo, Gershon

I do not entirely agree. Some who are faithful still experience hell on Earth and others who are far from righteous have a heaven on earth. This perplexes me but I still believe God will one day reveal answers that I cannot see from my finite perspective.

I loved the very theme . World needs this message. World has advanced so much but men are driven still by bigotry and silliness . Nice poem

This was a poem... many should read... even be made to read... repeatedly.... A soldier written with words, formed and released, to change the very way we think. Ann
