A picture is worth a thousand words.
(A photo found unclaimed on Writer’s cafe. It was famous once. Don’t need
words to express the sadness.)
You are gone and I’m here
War, violence and terror.
Who win in these wars?
Loud and powerful men watch from a distance. Announcer threats of war condemning young men and woman to fights and die.
I stood with family members and children by strong men graves. They won’t whisper their song no-more. Children will learn to understand. You are gone and I’m here. I need you now and I love you dear.
My brother Soldier and friend is gone. He left his imprint on my life. His smile and laughter is missed. His baby girls are so tall and beautiful. He is a Grandfather now. I see his face in his daughter son. It is time. In every country and place.
We stand against war.
They are killing Christians in Asia and Africa. Brother killing brother. The sin of man cannot be understood. Where is the respect, concern and love?

“My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.” –George Washington
I’m tire of war. I’m tire of men who seek disagreement before solving problems. I’m sick of leaders who will send gun, weapons and Soldiers before food, water and medicine.

Thank you for reading. Pray for peace. Pray that all children are safe. Pray for a day when war is a distance myth. Christians , Buddhism,Islam and Hinduism must come together. Stop the killing.
The child murdered could of been the light to save our planet?

I haven’t seen the movie. I will look it up. The photo of the mother brake my heart. I was told it is the Soldier’s mother at his grave. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Me too. We lost a man of peace this week. There are men and woman of love and kindness. They are over shadowed by the violence and hate. It will take a billion people to change the view of greed and destruction as the road to peace. Peace and war stand on opposite places. We need leaders who desire peace and can communicate with skill.
