Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Acrostic

World Peace: the Miracle of Understanding

Wonder of wonders if God would grant one miracle to me.
Over hills and dales, here and across the seas…amid:
Racists, radicals, and warriors who rant worldwide,
Ladies and Gentlemen: laughing loudly, in disbelief.
Desire of my heart is the miracle of understanding.

People, who understand, increase peace in their hearts
Eternally gained wisdom that unchains love’s doors.
As the miracle of miracles becomes reality,
Complete eradication of angry deeds…understanding—
Ending all wars

Lionel Ledbetter December 24, 2011 at 6:57 PM Very good. But man has a defect - The Fall. Christ: "I say unto you; love your enemies, do good to them who hate you, pray for them who spitefully use you." That is so foriegn to fallen man's nature, it proves the deity of Christ. Yet, we should, because: there, but for the grace of God, go you and I. The Commies promised a Utopia (Eden), a workers paradise - they produced a hell on earth. That's man's efforts, apart from God. God bless you.
