Warning, what I’m about to say
Could seriously upset your day
So listen please well to my words
For this is my perception of what occurs
~~
Sunday is our day of rest
Some go to church and dress in their best
Others go down on bended knees
Reciting their mantra’s wherever they may be
~~
Within ALL Religion of which men speak
Is the LOVE of God of which we all seek
Yet while we sit within our snug homes
War rages on with Bombs and Drones
~~
Children die hourly, being Killed and maimed
In the name of religion, beliefs are blamed
It’s time we stopped walking on the other side
It’s time to act, it’s time to decide.
~~
Ancient monuments being put before Humanity,
Seem more important than Lives, its insanity
Wake up People, to the Horrors WE Create
Yes WE with our denial, and Hate.
~~
What drives men and women to pick up guns?
What Kind of Human kills babies for fun?
Can you explain how hate got so ingrained?
Why LOVE got so lost, and Genocide inflamed
~~
Those who look the other way,
Maybe need to Wake up and Pray
That this hate doesn’t spill, to their front doors
Hate is the lack of Love—That’s the Core!
~~
Each bad apple starts with a bruise
Spreading like a cancer, touching others to abuse
‘Fractions’ and ‘Extremes’ spread out with Fear
Closing our eyes won’t stop all the tears
~~
Throughout History, in many many lands
Man has much blood to wash from his hands
Hitler, Amin, Pol Pot, to name but a few past
Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Ukraine, We still blast
~~
Many tell me to live with Joy in my heart
But how Can I Ignore this Suffering ‘I AM’ Part
‘WE ARE ONE’ within this experience of Life
We need to stop being ‘Indifferent’, Inject Love not strife.
~~
I can’t stop the wars that others may fight
My only weapon is LOVE, to beat the Darkness with Light
We have to look within at our own prejudices and Hate
Clear out our own darkness, Let Love be our Fate.
~~
The Hopi foretold this long jagged path
We are now at the Cusp, we have to choose and fast
Dictator’s control, using fear to cause harm
My only weapon is LOVE – But it’s more powerful by far
~~
Our minds are our greatest tools we possess
Use them to send love, to heal and caress
Compassion verses Anger, Light against Dark
Use thoughts and create Love—Generate Sparks
~~
Our Children need lessons in Love not Fear
We the Elders need to teach love, not hand out tears
I know Love outweighs and will overcome
Stop turning the other way and playing dumb
~~
Stand up for Freedoms, Live a life in Harmony
Unity Consciousness starts with You and Me
We Came to Earth to find the LOVE we separated from
Don’t waste this life, Find LOVE, Before its Gone!.

To see what generated this poem I wrote last evening, you can go to Learning From Dogs post Written with a heavy heart. But Please be Warned the Images there are Very disturbing about the ISIS movement and massacres of young children. And as Paul says should not be viewed by children under the age of 16.. But what incensed me about our Media news is that this week airtime is given to Ancient Monuments being destroyed which was described on TV as ‘a crime against Humanity’!!…. And yet Thousands of innocent lives are being tortured and killed every day, …World Wide….
We not long ago held the Anniversary about WWII… as we remembered those Millions who died.. “Never Again” said our leaders should this happen again?
‘WAR’ is a Crime Against Humanity be it in which ever country, and by who ever the perpetrator is.
And while some countries withdraw their armies.. They supply More Weapons to fuel More Wars!..
*Sigh*
Paul ends his post by saying
“Makes our dogs look like profoundly straightforward, loving animals! Why, oh why, can’t the human race essentially be as straightforward and loving!”
Why indeed !

There is too muck violence, fear and advertising of unnecessary luxuries in the media creating greed, hate and envy.

We start wars for oil and political ideology but not to save children. Today i just heard that the last group of the Peace Corp just pulled out of Israel because it was no longer safe enough to be there. We can’t keep ignoring what is going on in other parts of the world yet what can we as individuals do?

I think the point about the destruction of the ancient monuments was that they are a part of these people’s culture and symbolise who they are, carried down through history, rather than just dead artefacts. By destroying them – and there is some doubt as to whether everything they destroyed was the real thing, IS were effectively aiming to erase all memory and trace of existence of the people concerned. As in ethnic cleansing. And that in itself I believe would constitute a crime against humanity. It was a lot more than just wrecking old pieces of stone or whatever. It was another way of expressing their intention to wipe innocent people from the face of the Earth and from the face of history.
That said, I do appreciate the point you were making here and if it were just about old statues etc against human lives then I would wholly agree with you but it was so much more than that and deeply disturbing in its implications and the evil, murderous intentions of IS. (I intentionally use the term “IS” because there are many women named Isis and it has beautiful meaning, and they have been deeply upset by the media’s use of it to refer to this barbaric, murdering organisation. I recently signed a petition to have its use by the media banned.)
Your passion and compassion regarding love and War is refreshing and clearly heartfelt, and a sentiment shared by many of us the world over. It is a dark and frightening world we live in and love and respect is becoming harder and harder to find. And without diverting into my latest rant of the moment, lol, respect and equality for us women is becoming increasingly hard to find too!! I will stop there as I am in serious danger of launching into a wholly inappropriate rant on a subject not applicable to this fine post!

I hope this comment doesn’t offend anyone, but Israel needs to be mentioned here also; because it’s the ‘superpower’ of the Middle East and has been antagonizing Palestinians for almost a century now. These actions from ISIS are deplorable and simply unacceptable; but, they are making statements with women and children, to deplore, and ultimately yes, be at war with both the U.S. and Israel. The ‘extremists’ are the ‘result’ of the ongoing antagonism between these two countries. The war is not only based on religion, but on U.S. interests in those regions. May God (Nature) be our only superpower, and I really mean Nature, as the one controlling events.

What we teach in school is also very influential. No matter how much love we can teach children at home, if they go to school with bullying and racism, what are they going to learn? On top of that, what are history teachers teaching our children? Are we sure they are getting accurate, objective information, or are they being taught since early in their years who are the ‘good’ and who are the ‘bad’ guys? Looking at what children are learning in school may sabotage all the love and values we try to teach them.

Children are brought up segregated learning to judge, and discriminate, Be it another culture or another sex.. It happens not only in these nations but in class rooms all over the world..
History books themselves discriminate, and distort the truth and facts… Have not the Native American Indians also been judged and condemned.. Many forget the massive Genocide against the indigenous people of America.. How racism is still rife, and yes I too agree with you Maria, when you said

I feel a true God has always been there; but according to Buddhist philosophers and other religions, a bad ‘karma’ or bad ‘seed’ is already involved in a vicious cycle between these people. I have faith that good leaders can halt a bad ‘karma’ or bad ‘seed’ to continue flourishing. Baruch Spinoza was a Jew and said that God was analogous to Nature, but still was God and divine, and had to be worshipped as such. The only thing Spinoza did differently was to assign God a free will. God will act when He feels it’s the right moment, and not because people have assigned him special powers and human attributes. This was a very hard pill to swallow in those times, so he was thrown out of the Jewish synagogue (I think they accepted him back later on), and lived in exile for the rest of his years. But he was the first man to admit that God could not have human attributes or be idealized because he acted out of His own will, and worked along with human’s reasoning and capabilities to solve conflicts.

Rereading about Spinoza, it was not really that God had ‘free will’. “Spinoza expressly denies personality and consciousness to God; he has neither intelligence, feeling, nor will; he does not act according to purpose, but everything follows necessarily from his nature, according to law….” Thus, Spinoza’s God is the antithesis to the concept of an anthropomorphic, fatherly God who cares about humanity. “Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher. The breadth and importance of Spinoza’s work was not fully realized until many years after his death. By laying the groundwork for the 18th-century Enlightenment and modern biblical criticism, including modern conceptions of the self and, arguably, the universe, he came to be considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy.”-Wiki

We live in a world of duality… so without the BAD we would not know what GOOD is… What is happening as it appears to me, is we have always needed these two extremes of Light and Dark.. the thing is it needs to be kept in Balance… I just pray that we keep that balance and do not fall foul by using Hate against Hatred…

When I arrived and saw the Warning and the photo with the burning flames against the black,I was predisposed of what was going to follow.Yes,the photo was depicting Hell.I started reading your poignant poem and I was struck with consternation because I have not yet acquired immunity from what I recently view and read.I continued reading your verses and then, there was a brainstorm of words swirling in my poor mind … …Violence,crime,war,atrocity,injustice,cruelty,blood,merciless,inhumane,barbarity,
hostility,murderers,assassins,weapons,hostility,holocaust,devastation,destruction, … havoc,upheaval,chaos,clash of cultures and religions,civil wars,brothers agaist brothers,fanaticism,Intolerance,violation of law,indoctrination,dirty propaganda,and then,hatred that begets hatred,and we are all caught in a vicious circle.And I continue reading your thoughtful verses and I see Hell …
And,I asked.Where is God ? Where are the Mighty that govern the world ? Who is going to stop the theatre of the absurd ? Pain,a lot of pain and suffering Sue Dear,and all beyond reason,all sacrificed in the altar of money and the interests of the Super Powers.
Where is the Harmony of our Universe,the Beauty of nature that should be one with ourselves ? They dared destroy and smash temples,and monuments and sacred symbols and artefacts in museums,because to them they were just false idols … Oh,God have pity on us! Sorry my dearest Sue for my burst,sorry …
I finish my delirium and I treasure your verses that say “our only weapon is Love and our minds the greatest tools… I wish I could save those innocent souls … Night,night! Love and a warm hug to you 🙂 ❤

Sometimes we all ask that same question Doda… God is within.. and LOVE is within, Hate is absence of it.. And the Darkness is only the absence of LIGHT.. We are a mixed bunch here upon Earth.. Not all are starting out from the same point in consciousness, And many have a long way to catch up with those who shine their light..
But I do believe dear Doda, That LOVE is our only weapon.. Sometimes we need to wake up to the simple truths that each of us have at some point felt some of the emotions you stated and yes we can all get caught up within the vicious circle ..
The Only Souls we can really save our ourselves
Love and Blessings Dear friend xxx Hugs ❤ Sue

Hi dear friend Sue !I pleasantly receive and treasure your loving thoughts,but here,we are talking about extreme situations beyond any common reason,and if,at least, for one minute,we come to their shoes,we will see that all these noble thoughts and theories don’t really help and console them.They neeed direct measures and help.However,reading your alerting work we can test our own sensitivies … and simply sympathise with them.
There is also one more point I would like to mention and hope you agree with me.Reading work and poems of that sort we understand how ungreatful we are..We have everything,but we grumble all the time,we never really see and appreciate the blessings we generously receive from Him …
God and Love are the only things in my soul,that’s why I am here with You discussing things and exchanging our deepest thoughts.Have a peaceful and enjoyable weekend my dearest friend Sue.Always thankful for the spiritual food you give us … Sending love & blessings your way , Doda 🙂 ❤

Yes I agree Doda, Its most often those who have the most who grumble the loudest.. Go into the remote forests of Brazil, or In the slums of India, you may see people and children with next to nothing of what we consider Blessings, and yet everyone is SMILING.. for they have all got something we have long since forgotten.. They are Happy within themselves.. And within each of them.. is that Divine God Force, we call LOVE.. x x x Many thanks Doda.. I have enjoyed our exchange of thoughts 🙂 ❤

It’s insane that the loss of lives has become something the media is numbed to. The loss of ancient civilizations relics and historical places is very sad and frightening but it is not on par with the loss of human life.

I love to embody joy in my life and I DO NOT do enough to change my world. I know I let busy-ness get in the way of the most important things sometimes. That said, I am always in angst over what’s happening in the world and wonder at our capacity to heal it.
Powerful words here, dear Sue. And a cry for action from everyone. Sending you hugs and keep being a beacon! xo

Sometimes dear Cyndi, I feel less of a beacon, than a helpless soul caught within a world at times I can see getting further away from the light.. The Hopi spoke of the Great Purification.. I often wonder are we within those times.. and what just Will it take to purify the evil from certain Human hearts? Yet I have to have hope, And my hope is more will see the Power of their own thinking and start to THINK for themselves rather than allowing themselves to be dumbed down with what this commercial world is teaching.. I also have Faith, that our Inner Hearts when truly tested will once again find love and dismiss the hatred being created.. ❤ Love Sue and thank you for your lovely comment xxx

Sue I love that your messages are reaching so many people of light, ‘We’ as a consciousness are bringing up everything that cannot stick around… into higher consciousness, Our OLD EARTH is shedding tears for itself and “OUR” NEW EARTH embodied in “US” is emerging at a very fast pace, causing many upheavals along the way. Love is prevailing and we are entering the unknown where this kind of heaviness no longer pulls us in, yet we shine our light and it literally transforms in this “NEW NOW”. “WE” are the wayseers and shine on anything that is in darkness into this divine LOVE that embodies us “ALL”. ALL perfect in its timing, as we are truly timeless in this new consciousness. I had been traveling spreading sparkles of light wherever I landed, seeing your sparkles of light as well! Much love Robyn

we were born with a memory of war…
I believe it came in a time before the creation of this mankind in this moment
until we calm the rage inside of ourselves, till we understand that silence within
we will always be at war…starting with what is inside of our minds which seems to always silence the heart instead of listening to it
trusting the heart, will be the only way to a lasting Peace within man and the world
I wonder if we will see a glimmer of that Faith in our hearts in this lifetime….
Wonderful, thought provoking poem Sue….
Thank you for sharing….
Take Care….You Matter…

Dear Maryrose,
First I have to say I love your new Gavatar picture .. And yes, it seems deep in our Human core is the violent rage that in my mind is maybe inherent of our DNA coding! I feel we are again upon the cusp of seeing an escalation as we end yet another phase of Human evolution.. I often wonder Maryrose if the Human race in its Human form can ever find that Inner peace? For even when we try there seems at times a self sabotage mechanism which clicks in to bring doubt..
I hope as we awaken up more to the workings of our minds we see we need to Listen to our Hearts and learn to live our lives in love .. But it is also my own opinion that there are those on Earth that are not Humane or Human who are dealing out more darkness as they spread their evil across the earth…
My Faith still remains dear Maryrose, despite this darkness, for I know without our LIGHTS this world would be darker still..
Keep shining Maryrose… For your Faith and Light is much needed.. And I know will overcome all the shadows which have been cast your way..
Love and Blessings.. You too matter! Hugs dear friend Sue xxxxx ❤
