Shalom he said ...I'm Jewish
If that matters to you
I smiled within the comfort
What was I to do
I've never thought of differences
In me and any others
I always thought peacefully
We were technicolored brothers
Shalom I said ...my new friend
It's nice to welcome you
Then hand in hand we walked away
Together just us two
It makes no difference who you are
Your wealth or nationality
Your heart beats peace before you speak
It comes through more rationally
If we listen to our hearts and not what news reports
We would find love is universal
Theres nothing more to it
If we make a circle with our hearts
Then put all hate aside
To make our shine more uniform
We'd grow more hearts worldwide.
'If we listen to our hearts and not what news reports'
Can you imagine a newspaper as a lover? What a contrary personality we'd discover: utterning constant bad news - true, half-true, manufactured or otherwise - in our face brassy headlines,undermining our every move instead of doing the opposite, betraying our contentment to those who would seek to destroy us, and in whose lips shalom would be a curse. While claiming to love us with words, in its heart is raging war, and when our heart bids 'shalom,' the beat of a news report's heart echos 'destruction!'
Machiavelli told the prince to rule with fear, not the fear of terror but of a fear that woe betided anyone who threatened the 'shalom' of the people.
Would that the world had such a gutsy ruler today.
A poem exploring an evocative theme that fires reflection.
