Wartime stocks plummet.
The Pentagon declares bankruptcy.
The Department of War is closed.
Illegal gun smuggling comes to a halt.
Everyone complies to God’s commandment:
“Thou shall not kill”
Murder becomes obsolete.
“Enemy” is removed from the dictionary.
The results would be phenomenal...
All our time and energy could now be spent on
Earthly emergencies and natural disasters.
Everyday problem solvers become modern day heroes.
Pollution, global warming, over population...
Systematically eliminated.
Governments’ economies never need shut down.
Lost instincts for survival are revitalized...
Priorities diverted to preventing planetary extinction events
And destinies reverted to manifesting the Cosmos.
Everyone embraces cultural diversity
And declares all human beings as Earthlings.
Enlightenment is achievable.
Peace is possible...
Just amputate the Arms race.
Keep your guns permanently locked away.
Buy a telescope.
When thoughts are chaste you will not have hate friend,
When you hate not, to others you are a good mate friend,
Your words must not be the swords to the others ever
To the world of amity words must open the gate friend,
The unborn warless history waits there in the future
Get right immediately to invite that and narrate friend,
Enmity and enmity, it is nothing but a thought-demon
Do not allow that demon to decide your fate friend,
Take note that the world was ruined by our own deeds
To avoid dangers try now, though it is very late friend,
To our bad fortune we have lost the required goodness
Remember for true goodness there is no alternate friend,
Our society was damaged a lot by criminality of people
Mind it, the criminality, we should not elevate friend,
Know, the world should shape up as a peace-garden
For that the mind and heart you must donate friend,
Rochishmon, constantly dreams of humans well being
Living like an original human being is but great friend,
Maybe this year will see an end of hostilities
The world needs a break what are the possibilities
Probably zero to none
Putting war on the run
Us humans certainly have the capabilities
