Peace Hides Behind Truth

I borrow the nights darkness
using it for a cloak so i  can
travel  unobserved

Walking through dreams doorway
where a myriad of saints and sinners
seek to keep their acts hidden

My eyes see through their  subterfuge
just as theirs see through mine, if they
are keen enough to notice

After all we are people of similar kinds
with earthly ties that unite us in some
measure of kinship

Which is what makes me wonder  why
we can't find common ground,that would
keep us from warring with each other

We live in a complex world fraught with
difficulties and danger,but with patience
and the desire for peace, we could make
it work


The reason people and Nations
can't make peace is TRUTH,
no one wants to deal with it !


ET-2008

Powerful and thought-provoking. This is something that every responsible and vigilant citizen of the world should ponder... Thank you for your words of wisdom, Eileen. I'm glad I didn't miss this one.

Be well,

You are so right, separation from God, and all he created, brothers and sisters all of us, we hurt only ourselves when we hurt, or war with others, all that will be revealed when we unite as one with God again, deep thoughts well put Eileen! Blessings! Jasmin Horst

Lies are covered with sugar while the taste of truth sometimes is more bitter than what we were afraid it was.

"Why we can't find common ground". Words to ponder over for a long time. Perhaps a little respect and understanding might go a long way, but it has to be shared in both directions, right? Words of wisdom well said...

Be safe,

Amen! You said a mouthful and would nations everywhere face themselves with a different pair of eyes then, just perhaps, a self serving makeover may do all of us proud.
Thank you, Eileen!

Eileen, you are so true..."No one wants to deal with truth!" I enjoyed your metaphor in this writing. This is full of wisdom & truths...no one wants to work to come together and make peace. This is an excellent offering.

Denial is the game plan these days
I tell the truth and people get mad at me
I have told a lie or two, but it's not a habit.
With love Eileen....
Oh yes, you ALWAYS WRITE SUPER..

..maybe we have been to lazy to understand eachother. Maybe if we dropped labels that depersonilise nations and peoples we would see the brotherhood of man. Paradoxically, now we see so many hurting in the world, mankind does seem to be transending in to a new era.
Made me think of Antoine De Saint-Exuperys book, the next year he was killed in wwii....

Good work Eileen, I guess many men are war-like. There is something very odd about the Earth and I don't know the truth. I do hope for improvement...

I understand what you mean Jerry, but I think it's not that God wants war, but that God is truth, and that is what people can't accept,His truths!

I have just about figured it all out, Eileen, and please do not think I am being facetious here, because I most assurdely am not. I believe we cannot stop the ear-like nature of man is because God wants it, we have beeing warring ever since the Garden downfall . . .
