Let go your deadly weapons of fear
and all destructive harm they bear.
Free yourself of every belief
that leads to others’ pain and grief.
Disarm your thoughts of prejudice
killing goodwill through injustice.
Rise out of hate’s violent insanity.
You can be the hope of Humanity.
Be loving, kind, gentle, and caring.
Value all lives, freely sharing.
Celebrate Life’s great diversity.
Celebrate Life, expressing unity.
Be You- courageous, free, and strong.
Be the blessings for which you long.
Release ‘Old Stories’. Make your Peace.
If not, your Wars will soon increase.
Gather yourself to the arms of Love
here on Earth and in the Heavens above.
(Shelley Wilson-June 18, 2016)
Have you seen around the call for poets for peace, a collaboration. If you would like to join in, simply leave your poem in the comments section of this site, Neha is hosting it. I am sure it would be appreciated, or any other work you have to hand or new even.
