A Prayer for Peace

Why can we just live peacefully without weapons and pretense?

Why can we not live without borders?

England, Scottland

Russia, Ukraine

China, Bhutan

Iraq, Iran

Borders are imaginary.

Something we created.

We are not bound to those figments of imagination.

No one is safe from dying because that is the way of things.

It is fate just like our birth.

We come and we go

when it is our time.

So why do we shorten our lives by killing each other?

Because our country declares war?

Because if we don't attack first, they may?

Because we want something they have?

Because they are unfair to us?

None of those reasons isn't good enough to pick up weapons to fight.

Father, please give us the strength

to drop guns,

to abandon missiles and bombs.

Nothing is worth killing each other

I am a dreamer,

I dream of the world only with love and compassion.

The world without borders and boundaries,

No politics, No manipulation

No title, No duty

Free to love, Free to express

Free to create, Free to change

The world where full of dreamers

live happily ever after.

“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” - Budda
