Peace took the floor to make a speech on the occasion of the Peace Day at UN headquarters on 21 Sept. 2005
The UN Secretary General

Distinguished guests
Ladies and Gentlemen
It is my pleasure to stand before you and make a speech but Before I start it let me tell you who I am. You may know me as PEACE but it I think you need to know how I came to take that name. This introduction is important for Mr. WAR, too, to whom I am today talking to show him my impressions about him and how I want to harmonize relations with him.
WAR
My mother is Love
My father is hope
I am a morning sun
My name is peace
WAR
You are an enemy
You are a problem
You hate stability
You are son of evil
WAR
You interfere with my duties
Where I step in to mediate
You come down to disturb
You attack me in my den
WAR
Yet I still think of you
To come together and talk
To sort out differences
Would you accept my plea?
WAR
Unfortunately Inside you
A beast is lurking around
You are preying on me
I know your intentions
WAR
If I leave you alone
You destroy the world
If I come to join you
I end up in your jaws
WAR
I have no choice
But to tame you
To domesticate you
Not with bows and arrows
Not with tanks and jet fighters
But with a word of wisdom
Dripping from the pen of Harmony
The UN Secretary General
The General Assembly
The Security Council
Distinguished guests
Ladies and Gentlemen
Before I conclude my speech
I appeal the International Community:
To reduce military build up
To finance education projects
As only through education
Can War’s terror factories
Be destroyed world-wide
Now you're talking! Education for all and there is
the possibility we might see peace in one day!
We need people who are intelligent enough not to be
led by lies of politicians that claimn to know what they
need, but by politicians that want to hear them tell
what their needs are and try to meet them.. Excellent once
again Abdi Noor!
STANDING OVATION! What a moving, powerful stand for truth and your voice is leading the way! My favorite of your incredible writes so far, you better believe I'm saving this one. Congratulations, and continue to write/right all injustices towards peace!
(((HUGS))) and love, and many prayers, your sis, Karla.
Thanks Sherry for reminding me about the word "Harmony" Between war and peace there must be harmony to set the mood for reconciliation and to bridge the gap of misunderstanding. Now I added it to where it rightly belonged. Thanks
Abdi-Noor
War is indeed an evil monster, but like all things, there is always a yin and a yang. Sadly and ironically, it often takes war to create peace. You forgot to include the third brother in your poem, that being Harmony. Without him, war and peace will continue to try to destroy each other and we will never evolve and love will never prevail. Peace is what we all seek, but it seems that we all want peace "our way" which usually causes war. Harmony means that we each accept the other the way that we are and learn how to live together in peace. Beautiful writing, Abdi-Noor. My prayers echo your thoughts.
Take care,
Sherry

The Harvest of Souls Crossover is a story that is exciting, vigorous, and full of suspense about the fight of good and evil in two realms, the light and dark world. The Howdy Family is determined to defeat the world of darkness, led by the seemingly
