    Peace As I See It

    Traversing mountains of misinformation,
    formidable opponents usher in compromise, while
    their eyes are focused upon the sky waiting for
    death to shower them in the bloodstain of lies.

    Millions manipulated by military munitions.
    Out of fear comes the disease of concession, while
    the lasting strength of cultural pride becomes the
    reason to reach for reprise, and I reproach asking how
    training for death may be coached.

    The roads of peril,
    A conscience colored emerald.
    Envy, envoy, assistance.
    Priests experiencing visions –
    Clinical heart failure.

    Political structure by crusading design.
    Remote controlled regimes, only fuel for the flame.
    As marionettes act out public appearances in the name
    of cultural adherence; a policy of the policing elite.

    The roads of retreat.
    Each account, is a spiraling defeat.
    Vertigo, due to ascension. Seated at the right
    hand of the father. The new apostles of fate
    kill w/ ideas skewed, and spoken in broken
    promises; luxuries foretold, but fallen brethren
    amass tenfold.

    Walls of razor wire mark their borders.
    The hall of mirrors reflect the soulless actions of a
    new global furor, but patriotic fervor is the armor of
    irresponsible citizens waving their rights with a white
    flag of submission to imperialism.

    The roads to trial and error, are tried then
    executed by the prophecy of executive financing monsters
    of money laundering. Dirty dollars w/ the blood of
    its sole followers, and up springs the sacred oil
    of sacrilegious anointment.

    Beliefs have become a vice, a verse,
    a device of control. A lack in correct translation;
    welcome to a conscience made prison system, guarded
    by the tower of Babel. Armed militants, and the trumpets
    blast triumphant, warnings of the hatred in judgment
    man is accruing.

    A road remains untraveled.
    seen upon the horizon a Samaritan is killed by
    misfortune, tortured by misunderstanding. Military
    vehicles making beachhead landings, and the slander
    has secured their fate. Generations consumed in an
    inferno of hate.

    Botched assassinations,
    Butchered prophecy,
    another global conspiracy,
    welcome to death by militant diplomacy.
    As a road remains less traveled my words
    begin to unravel: a pit viper, a rattler, a lion
    roaring our time is coming!

    This is a very strong poem full of emotion! This is also how I feel about our country's form of peace.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
