So You Want World Peace: Shalom Always But Truthfully

North Korea will not be bombed Because it is not a muslim nation Oh? This upsets you ... facts do If you want world peace Try being peaceful and open here Not so self-centered, your poems must score 7 Even when they have not been spell-checked, And you show your puny muscles by ganging up In ethnic enclaves, cussing your Creator On this Christian poetry site ... So you want world peace? Read the poems of Eileen Manassian, not mine. If we can't spare a minute to understand a writer here Please spare me the colonial mind making pretense at poetry

My dear, I'm sorry I have arrived late to this poem. I am against the politics of this world that makes the innocent suffer for the gain of others. God is the God of all. We are all his children. I live in apart of the world torn by strife that has touched the lives of my immediate family...leaving scars. You are free to share your views here. Speak out for what you believe in...

Peace is a hot subject, Anil. Many are in favour of peace, but then they are ready to go to war to gain it! Hate, greed, jealousy, etc are all stumbling blocks which keep peace at bay. ~ Eileen is a naturally talented writer and she writes from the heart. Regards // paul

My Brother Demetrios, I am NOT surprised you befriended Eileen Manassian, as you know she speaks five languages, and writes in #6, English. Thanks, Blessings, Health, & Shalom

Hello Anil. Yes, this is something that is about to erupt. So many are innocent. Can't the world and people have peace and harmony. I have no words. You bring awareness. Enjoy the night. Well stated.

Lisa, you are a loyal reader and friend. It takes courage these days to visit my poems. But you are a woman of solidity, substance, and agape-love. Shalom, shalom!

Peace in the world will come as a result of inner peace! Yes, Eileen is a great lady and an adorable poet and an esteemed academic. I am lucky to know her long before you come on the site my dearest Anil! You are absolutely right about her but there are other poets that write on peace as well. Good poets! You too are a good poet and a blessed soul! Let us follow our Lords command: Love one-another!
