War and Peace

Quote by Dandapani: 
A man who prepares for war invites war/A man who prepares for God invites God

War And Peace 

I am not ready to strap a grenade to my chest 
for the sake of more power 
Nor am I ready to kill my fellow man for the 
sake of pleasing my Government 
I am not ready to die so that I could know 
which side of the fence I didn't blow 
War and Peace, a silver knife ready to be used 
Once side butters organs for evil doers full of hate 
the other, the cockles of a compassionate heart
I rather die in peace donating my parts to love 
then in a merciless cruel way such as war...
How about you, how do you wish to die ?

Dennis Spilchuk March 29, 2022 at 9:07 AM I've no doubt you are a caring person, but you can't believe that starving people to death by imposing sanctions is merciful killing. To me it's like we're digressing back to the stone age, it is cruel, vulgar, and barbaric.

I Am Anaya March 18, 2022 at 12:15 PM I've wondered myself what I would do. Then I read a quote of compassion and dignity and fall in love with God all over again. Thank you, Mystic Rose
