Hurtling through nightmares
yet plodding towards dreams
praying for a miracle
while locking up forgiveness
(and throwing away the key)
Trampling on compassion
while discarding common sense
‘Tis the chaos of the world as I see it
‘Tis what makes my heart bleed

I don’t think peace makes much of a profit for investors, in armaments, ships, planes and rockets especially when combat is not in your country! Humanity has no humanity.

Mine, too, Vivian. It is hard to bear. A friend who is very spiritual suggested I hold the vision of the world I want in my thoughts, it adds to the shift of consciousness, if we have hope and trust. I just wish it would hurry up and shift and that humankind would evolve.

The world as we know it is changing…. and in the end it will back into the middle.. I read somewhere that big changes in communication technology has always led into conflicts… going back to the printing press leading to reformation and all the wars we had, to radio and TV leading to the war of the 20th century… now we have internet, and the old order is changing.
