We dream of peace on Earth; what is this peace we yearn and pray for in our life? We think of days when wars no longer threaten- cease our actions to enjoy our freedom’s link to all God-given rights of man of Earth. To live democracy as it should be; each person has an equal chance from birth to live without the fear of fight, or flee. Perhaps we’re not evolved enough to greet that deep within we are no different than wild species that engage in fights to eat, or claim their space- ingrained since time began. We pray these steadfast patterns, left behind- instilled in us back in the ancient past, will mutate to a higher level, find more God-like ways to deal, make peace at last. Though many live their days in harmony with peace and love- the center of their goals, world leaders bear the cross of keeping free all nations from disastrous wars and tolls. This dream of peace, perhaps not in your life or mine- will this grand miracle ensue? But still, we march, endure the stress and strife, and pray that peace on Earth someday is true.
