MAKE LOVE NOT WAR !

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

OUR GOD is a GOD of Peace & Love ~ AMEN

 

O MY GOD ~ Deliver our Nations and

Our World ~ from Men in authority ~ who

Resort to violence to achieve their ends.

They sweet talk us into believing that

They are really acting in our interests

Brainwash us into a Flag Waving War

That decimates our Brothers & Sisters !

 

Deliver us from the notion ~ that Good

Can come from violence and hostility !

GOD is on the side of the afflicted

HE deals with Men of Violence ~ and shows LOVE

To the victims of their hostilities 

Help us LORD to overcome Hate with LOVE

To be PEACEMAKERS in a Hostile World !

 

Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Peace & Love ~ BRIAN

 

This Poem is presented as a 7 7 Sonnet in iambic pentameter.

This is called BLANK VERSE and the rhythm is in meter not rhyme.

 

During his visit ro EGYPT ~ Pope Francis has called for World Peace

and warning that a Total Nuclear War would probably kill over half

the World's population 3.7 Men ~ Women ~ Children and render

Planet Earth uninhabitable for millions of species of Flora & Fauna.

I am an Environmental Scientist and I agree with Pope Francis !

Pray for World Peace and especially those who promote WAR.

  • Comment from author about the poem: We live in an increasingly volatile and hostile WORLD ~ Back to the 1960's when the hit song was "I want to have a bigger bomb than you !". It is a well known fact that the "fall~out" from a Nuclear World War (WW3) would render much of the Planet uninhabitable and make the effects of "Global Warming" seem like a Teddy Bears Picnic ! The effect of the use of two small Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki in 1945 are still being felt today ~ over seventy years later ! WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN ~ WHEN WILL THE EVER LEARN ?

    I much prefer to work with meter over rhyme and it works so well here.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Well MICHAEL as a classical poet ~ if I designate a Poem as a "Blank Verse Sonnet" it indicates it will have 14 lines and each one co-metrical ~ OK Thanks for your comment BRIAN !

    • WriteBeLight

      Very timely message Brian. I hope they are listening.

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        I understand - an election, or 100 elections, won't be the 'one thing' needed, as many are saying. it's a change of the human heart that's needed. I've always believed, since I first heard it: 'It's not society in itself that needs changing, but the people in the society'.
        Erm, yes Outback. I rather got lost somewhere in your discussion!

        • orchidee

          Er, I don't follow all of this, Outback. Not to laugh it off, but seriously, I could get a headache trying to figure it all out. I see me as here, right now, this moment, then the next moment, etc.

          And... there's a lot of rubbish in some songs, though certain lines stand out as sensible and wise. I don't think mankind without God will naturally (human nature-ly) choose peace. Good deeds etc of many may go some way towards it though, as we retain God's image still.

          Bother hippies with their make love not war and John Lennon with give peace a chance had it right but those who can do anything about it just do not care!!

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Thanks ANDY ~ It is those in authority we want to influence. We have Local elections this week and National elections in JUNE ! Perhaps we should consideR voting for the MAN (or WOMAN) and not the PARTY ! Yours BRIAN

            This is a very good and eye opening poem. I'm so glad you wrote it. Let's all pray that it never goes as far as nuclear war! Praying for peace, Hugs-Christina
