I spiritually believe in
dream of
and hope for …..
world healing
world peace
yes ~ I admit
there is
the chaos
the hate
the violence
the bigotry
and other genetic
and socially embedded
traits of behavior
causing
great
pain and sorrow
which act as
this great wall
of resistance
a hindrance
physically
standing
against
the spirit
of love
and its power
on the people
to bring forth
a critical mass effect
within collective
consciousness
where the intensity
of such an enlightenment
would emerge
this process for healing
thereafter
encouraging
and improving
the overall
well-being
of the people
henceforth
establishing the mood
for this peaceful coexistence
throughout the world
’cause I refuse
to give in
and deny
what I spiritually believe in
dream of
and hope for
world healing
world peace
my affirmation
before all
is that I’ll
stay the course
despite discouragement
and the many setbacks
the seemingly slow
progression
of our fellow human …..
deep inside me
as a spiritual being
my faith
in the humankind
is that eventually
within the struggle
by way of acts and deeds
tempered with
the spirit of love
seasoned with
kindness
patience
and tolerance
our example ~
we will create
a social environment
that will heal and then
bring peace to the world
regardless of the chaos
the hate
the violence
the bigotry
and other genetic
and socially embedded
traits of behavior
causing
great
pain and sorrow
peace out
