3 B.03 Growth Of Peace
By force peace cannot be kept,
Only by understanding you get,
The most unfavorable peace be,
Better than the most just war truly.
Peace not produced by terror or fear,
Not in cemeteries where graves stare,
Nor by revolt of violent repression flares,
But by mutual trust - then peace glares.
If the pin-pricks of cannon shot proceed,
The chances of lasting peace will recede,
As the knowledge of organized warfare,
Shows not grasp when peace stares.
To create anything - force has no ability,
The sword always beaten by spirit be,
Fight not too often with the enemy,
Else you teach him war effectively.
If peace the desire to achieve be,
Do not talk to your friends only,
To attain this goal you must surely,
Talk to your enemies with sincerity.
Marriage of people and planet,
All attendant vows to attain it,
Their best - nations contribute to it,
Supporting all - best gift for it.
No trust more sacred can be,
Than world holds with progeny,
No duty more important to see,
Than rights respected of humanity.
Where welfare of all protected be,
Life free and every head high be,
Where fear scares none surely,
Then the growth in PEACE will be.
Peace to really have any meaning,
For many who only known suffering,
Must be translated into bread or rice
Shelter, health, education - must rejoice.
Peace rides when the Power of Love,
Swaps the Love of Power and shoves,
To reach peace you must teach peace,
For justice and equality - preach peace.
Freedom and human dignity flowing,
Peace - the only battle worth waging,
And without force ever prevailing,
Justice and progress all achieving.
When people realize all the souls,
Within universe and power doles,
With the center of oneness holds,
All one within Great Spirit beholds.
