War Is Peace

war is peace
        sayeth thy big brother
        those in washington
        who seek control
        through power
        gained by wealth

        for what is peace
        if not providing
        all needs
        if not gaining
        all wants
        if not realizing
        all dreams

        peace is war
        sayeth thy big brother
        those in Washington
        who lose control
        through the power
        of equity

        let there be war
        that we may have peace

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
