There is only One War that is acceptable.
The War that takes “NO” lives.
The War that isn’t decided because it is based on a struggle for power.
The War that isn’t based on discrimination due to a specific mindset;
about ethnicity, ideology, opinion, beliefs, or understandings.
~
There is only one Acceptable War.
The war that goes on within each of our minds.
Everyday!
The war where we struggle
to overcome our fears of the difference in others,
and learn to accept all.
~
We are all human.
We are the Human Race.
We are One!
No life is expendible,
No life is less important than another,
Not ever!
Not Ever!
WE ARE ONE!
WE ARE THE HUMAN RACE!
~
We must win our private war –
Our struggles within!
Change, let it happen
Now!
We are all members of the human race,
Every single one of us!

This I believe
please hear these words,
they move with the beat of the heart.

The Why About This 
Great post
Thank you Celestine, my friend! 🙂
Your beautiful post reminded me of John Lennon’s Imagine…
He was so very talented and he wrote from the heart. His truth, the truth of things I think Amy!
true words about the war..and if there are no countries..anyone could travel anywhere without a visa:)
I would so love that. I could meet you then so easily couldn’t I?
yes:)) but people feel the need to preserve their culture and all that..so world would remain this way
I think preserving culture is a good thing and important but I think it is good to share the cultural riches with all peoples, we grow closer together as we understand more about one another, and I think change is happening, I can’t explain it exactly but I feel it and it is a good thing for us all.
yes, you are right..the idea of understanding and accepting differences.
We grow as humans when we understand things better, we become less fearful of the different or unknown I think!
true
Just wish it was a little bit easier (the process that is) Padmini, have a great day today, mine is ending. It began well with a little girl and is ending well with our conversation. Very nice indeed, thank you my friend!
good night:)
So wonderful, Penny, but unfortunately since the beginning of time there has been war. Until the end of time, there will be war. Like Alastair, too bad the battles could not be fought strategically over a good game of chess.
Yes there has always been war, it is my hope that “civilization” humanity’s future will recognize the futility and deathknoll that war is for all of us on this planet. I believe therefore I have hope. Also I love chess, just love it!
I join you in this war!
xx 🙂 🙂 xx
Thanks Rosie we’ll win this one. We must! Thank you my friend, :)xx
You shine hope on the struggles of the people. You have changed me in every way with this poem of yours.
Thank you so much. 🙂
George Carlin – We Like War
George was a good one! Thank you for your compliment. I do learn lessons well! 🙂
Excellent. And so you must. 🙂
no wards and be more expressive, sometimes when i call for such meanings i feel like Don Qixotte..a dreamer fighting windmills…. thank you reminding all of these HUMAN meanings.
Some times words are mightier than a sword. Sometimes! Penny xxx
yes that s truly true, words can kill, can judge, can fight and can live eternity. you rightly expressed what millions want to say… thank you
I completely agree with you. This is a message that I wish would reach everyone’s ears. What a great thought. SO beautifully written. Loved this message.
Thank you Arindam, I know your feelings on this subject. Your generous words mean much to me. I am passionate when it comes to humanity’s well being. I want to protect all of our people on the planet, all I have is words though!
YES!
Thank you, they are just words, but words about a human condition that I feel passionate about. Since a small child I have never understood. I mean I know as an adult all the adult (reasons) but I still don’t understand why one human being can hurt (kill) another and then justify it! Thanks for caring and responding, Penny xx
I agree with you! Wonderfully said Penny
Thanks Claire, I have words and I have passionate longings for humanity, I wish I had more to give!
AnElephantCant agree more.
A concise view of humanity expressed perfectly.
Thank you. A subject very dear to my heart!
So beautifully stated Penny. I wish all could share this concept; it seems so simple, doesn’t it? 🙂
Most important things in life tend to be simple don’t they LuAnn! 🙂
Reblogged this on shafiqah1 and commented:
Beautiful ❤
Thank you. Sometimes words bring changes, sometimes!
Peace Rants are my favourite. Thanks Penny !
Thanks Lesley, if I could figure out how to do more peacefully I would certainly do so. I am rather passionate about this I think, my friend!
Amen!
I doubt that boomie!
I agree 3000%
If the people who decided to wage war were to go out at the head of their army, they certainly wouldn’t do it. War should be settled over a game of chess or Dejarik.
Yeah, this is true! Yes, Holo-chess – that’s the thing! 🙂
Yep 🙂
Beautifully said, Penny
Thank you Valerie, from you I appreciate the compliment very very much! Penny
i wish all people could think like you but unfortunately they dont. But fortunately all artists think same like you. Theres light 🙂
It only needs one to begin Nafee!I agree, with most all artists there is light!
