They say an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind…

But how often do You stop to be kind…

or loving enough to consider someone outside your world?

Out of sight, out of mind?

Like the natural disasters, the famine and war?

Called to be peacemakers yet

we allow peace to grow weary right next door

We so easily mute the tears of that child so sculpted by grief

So consumed by what falls only under our sky

..boxed into me, myself and pride

Remote and controlled by I TV

Like when we forget to forgive like

We aren’t living under forgiveness

Like when we refrain from giving, like we aren’t beneficiaries of God’s goodness

But were the wounds to His flesh

I said the, flesh torn pieces

Not enough for us to hold our peace?

Not enough for two to take a piece out of the book of Love, to

Remember the point of His peace purposed blood

We forget our actions nail him back to that cold cross

Was his pierced body not enough for us to mend the shattered pieces of our own egos

We so quickly forget that the war of wars was won by the real hero

With a promise to be Near to those who sorrow

& to Save those whose hope has ceased

Let’s live for Love today, for a better tomorrow

Remember Side by side is when we withstand defeat

So Take hold of this life and the Light placed inside, give ear to the broken

Let us swallow our pride

& passionately pursue peace
