As the
thundering clouds above strike fear and dread in the hearts of those that hear
them, let the divine thunder of our loving and unselfish service strike hope and joy in the hearts of all that perceive it!

Moving Forward
Oh, children
of the Earth,
How long
will you suffer War?
Why do you
give men the power to make war?
Why do you
allow men to rule over you
That believe
in violence?
How long
will you entertain the delusion
That you can
build
The Kingdom of
Peace
Using the
weapons of War?
What vile
experience must you endure
To make you
realise the revolting nature of war?
What horrific
scourging
Need you
suffer
To make you
lose your taste for
Steal,
blood, and terror?
Men of
violence,
Who see
enemies everywhere,
Are not fit
to run a school
Let alone a
nation.
Let us no
more learn to make war!
When will be
begin to learn to make Peace?!
Let us no
more learn of war,
Let it
become a bad memory,
A terror of
the night season,
Whereupon awaking
We discover
The world of
beauty, harmony, light, and life.
Let us transform
our means of destruction
Into a means
of creation,
Our means of
inflicting harm
Into a means
of creating healing.
Let us put
an end to mourning
Let us no
more hear the sound of mothers weeping
Let us stop
the tears bought with terror.
Instead, let
laughter peal through our streets like thunder.
Instead of
screams
Let music
fill the air
Instead of
the bitter parting,
With fear
that they will never return,
Let there be
joyful welcoming
With the
peace that knows they will never go to that place again
With joy let
us move forward
Into the
light of the truth of love and brotherhood
Knowing that
we have once, for all, and forever,
Put the
darkness of hatred and enmity behind us
Let
forgiveness break the chains of hatred
That hold us
fast in the darkness of the past
Let faith
reveal the
Brighter worlds
and better days ahead
If we are to
give our lives
Then let us
give them
With Love to
Beauty, Truth, and Goodness
