How Much Further?

How much further must we go into the abyss,
before peace is found,
before fear and hatred cease to consume minds,
before greed is proven shallow.

Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism,
are filled with notions of love, brotherhood and acceptance,
yet somewhere purpose has become lost,
the pure words of truth are but echoes falling to distance.

I believe not in any doctrine of dogma,
but I do believe in love and the potential of peace,
and in that pursuit I see nothing but contention,
the squabbling of children over pointless rights.

I dream of countless blessings,
and wake to endless war,
in minds, in words, in battles and oppression,
the sounds of silent screaming resounding in hearts.

How much further must we bend morality,
justify the decimation of our earth,
and the destruction of all life sacred,
for the appeasement of systems we've created.

How much pain can we inflict without guilt,
without the consciousness of a open and giving heart,
and how will we sleep knowing what we do to one another,
in the name of self-gain.

How much further can I go without breaking,
knowing all this and seeing no change,
no serenity only struggle,
no contentment just self-inflicted pain.

How much further is it to home.

I guess it's hard to get out of this vicious circle. We just need to find peace within ourselves and spread love and peace to as much human beings - start with our own family, our home and hopefully it will have a multiplier effect on the community as hopefully, they will do the same. Let's be hopeful.

I liked the sounds of silent screaming resounding in my heart

the "home" away from home might be 30 or 40 years away. Get a grip and start having some fun. I can help. We can have fun together. I need some sunny days, too. I don't think the world is going to get better unless the aliens decide to help.( that could happen)

I just had a thought. Maybe in the past men communicated with maybe Annunaki by telepathy and called it prayer. If they read our minds, and they do, then they know the screwed up ideas humans are carrying around. Some sort of "group think" or "100th monkey think", a prayer session to our Alien benefactors, hmmmm.? Communication with the Guards, just thinking.

I feel sorry for the aliens, one look into our minds probably sent them of a three day bender. lol How screwed up can a race get? Don't worry my friend, I just let the beauty in, cause there's much more of that anyway. I'm sure your right about the act of prayer, by the way. Take care Lewis and sunny days only. It's about 110 degrees here to day.
