Courage For Peace

History Shows Us That When 
Faced With Incredible Violence, 


Most Of Us Humans Have Been Able 
To Rely On The Power Of Peace 


Within Us All To Deny 
The Cowardice Of Violence; 


That Is The 'Out' For Us All 
When We Are Denying Ourselves 


The Power Of Peace 
That We Were All Born With;


The List Of Peaceful Humans 
Murdered Over the Last 100 


Years May Seem Endless 
But It Is Finite;


And To Try To List The Names 
Of All The Humans On The 


Planet Who Have Died In 
The Name Of Peace Would 


Be Futile As So Many Of Us 
Have Died Anonymously;


Don Cheadle's Character In 
Hotel Rwanda Says...


"The President Signed for Peace. 
Why Did They Kill Him?"


Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, 
Nelson Mandela, Jesus Christ, 
Cesar Chavez, Buddha Sakmyuni, And Gandhi 
All Called For Peace In The Face Of Violent Oppression... 


Slave Societies Try To Find Honor 
In A World That Is Ruled By Those 
Of Us Who Cannot Seem To Move Ahead 
With The Species And Have Reverted 
Back To The Animality Of Our Ancestors 
Through Denial Of Our Human Spirit;
 
The Country Of South Africa Has Been 
A Site for Hell On Earth For Centuries. 


The Stray Dog Mentality Of The Planetary 
Violator Had Practiced Hierarchy-Flogging 


To Accomodate Their Lack Of Honor 
Towards The Planet And Its Species 
And Create A Slave Society Designed 
To Enrich The Minority.


Rape of the Planet For Precious Materials 
Needed To Compensate For The De-Humanized 


Condition Of The Back Of The Herd 
Feeding Straggler Eaters And Parasites of Humanity.


Precious Gems Are A Poor Replacement 
For That Which We Were All Born With 


But Had To Turn Our Backs On
Indicated By The Awkwardness of Silence...
