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.
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 !
Very timely message Brian. I hope they are listening.
Thanks HONEY ~ pleased you appreciated it ! My message (and prayer) for TRUMP and others is "All I am saying i give PEACE a chance" ~ Please check my Fruit Fusion ~ Hug for Peace ~ BRIAN
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!
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!!
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
Thanks CHRIS "All I am saying is ~ Give Peace a Chance" I'm joining my Prayers with Yours ~ Peace & Love ~ BRIAN
