Ticking For All
The road to peace has been rejected,
and the road to war has been accepted.
One is better than the other; one tears
people apart, while the other brings them
together.
The choice is between love or war, and the
question is what is war? War promotes
aggression, and greed. It destroys people
who are poor and in need. It takes away
the freedom from people's lives. It kills
fathers, sons, and daughters and wives.
Why would people choose hate over peace?
What is it I don't see? This state of affairs
puzzles me. Why would we chose death over
life? What is it about death that makes it
right?
The road to peace has been open since the
first man and woman walked on Earth.
It's always been pregnant, but has never
given birth; it has always been fought for in
every corner of the Earth.
People keep saying 'let's have peace on
Earth,' but people keep ending up dead
and buried in the dirt. What is it that makes
people comfortable in living in a state of
hell, like drowning in water of a bottomless
well?
The day of peace sill waits for all of us to
come. When this happens, then it will it be done.
The clock is still ticking on the wall. It's
not ticking for one, but it's ticking for ALL!
