War, Man, Peace

We live through the hard times, 
We relish peace and the good.
Remember, we can survive all things!
Hardly, are we made of wood.

Friends may suddenly leave us?
We weather those storms.
Our strength stands, we do not fuss.
As our God keeps us, safe and warm.

Since time began, there have been wars.
Be steady, have faith in times of dissension.
Man is selfish and always wants more.
Your God watches over you from another dimension.

Do good each day, that is most effective.
You may make errors, that does not create you as evil!
Words simply are a way of expressing invective.
No one superior to you, they are just people!

Choose peace, not stir the winds ofwar!
Remember to pray, thus comes inner peace.
Speak your truth, though not as the only one, on a throne from afar.
Learn well, to trust God as your final surcease!

Thanks Elena, I hope people look to their own lives. Not get choked by news. They are now! God/ HaShem is the leader and champion of the planet, not man. NO Man is EVER a god. But we Make gods of men? Pangie

Prince, a perfect response. Friends can be great or brutal, too. That’s why I entitled the poem, War, Man and Peace. Hundreds killed daily in the USA plus police. Women...raped murdered, why the silence from Americans, then?our freedoms mandated away for almost three years. SILENCE? We gave them away. Are we conscious? I wonder. Pangie
