The Peaceful Masters

God bless the peacemakers, full of love and far from heart-breakers, who hope to take the world to a higher elevation, but, before that is done, they are killed-- mostly by assassination. Mankind seems to hate those who love all of us. Killing them off seems to be a must. They are killed in the light of day, or night, because their message tells the world of a better and peaceful way. Those who love us all--the whole human race-- put their lives on the line to make the world a better place. Very often, they leave their families behind to give the world at large all their energy and time. These people who live for the good of all are doing the work of a greater call. These people should be loved or protected. Instead, they are being spied on, persecuted and rejected. The common sense people seem to hear their message--they are mostly those who are lost or without hope. People like Socrates, Jesus, Martin Luther King, and Kennedy all died from the same kind of sad tragedy. Why is this true? Why are these things done to those who have loved you? Their message is always the same: let's love, be happy, and have peace on Earth in God's name. Why do we seem to be so blind about these prophets of time? Their brilliance shines throughout the annals of history. They are the ones to save us from the evil of humanity. Who are the ones who come as a surprise and kill those people in front of our eyes? I don't know who they are or where they come from, but I to would like to see their job done. So let me give it one more try; I want to see peace on Earth, even if it means I die. See, it's better to live doing good then to die doing bad. For it would be the best life I could have ever had.
