Peace Child, Love Child

[Guest guest]

Tomorrow will be 9/11 when the USA officially was enjoined at the hip with the

world at large. In the heartbreak and misery of war on her own bright shores on

a large scale. We had no choice but to wake up, take notice and resolve in some

sort of compassion with the world of suffering-of limb and life's loss.

 

Is it a wonder that a country based on a religion that needs a God-man to die

to be

saved and enter the gates of heaven and those who believe that one must kill

and die against the infidels to reach heaven and its virginal prize, should

meet in an act of terror?

 

Heaven is right here and now, nirvana is not so far away

unless one 'saves' it for a later day. IMHImagination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want to be the Christ child today

Wrapped in swaddling, cozy in a manger

Star of Bethlehem rising in the night

Warmed by the love of Mother Mary and

Joseph with his staff, smiling upon me.

 

I want to be innocent

I want to be selfish

I want to return

To the Purity of a Child.

 

Please.

 

I have had enough of heartbreak,

I have seen enough death and destruction

Starvation and calamity to last millions

Of incarnations.

 

Please.

 

I have seen too much blood shed, too many

Hearts ripped asunder as the bodies blow apart

 

Please.

Give me grace, oh Lord.

 

I pray to the four winds.

I fall on my knees.

I bow, I say Namaste,

I pray with folded hands

I raise my open palms to the level of my shoulders,

I look for a hole in the wall to lay my wailing on.

 

Please.

 

Let me laugh again

Please return me the Love

Of A Child.

 

 

Peace and Love,

Anna
