Description They are afraid of peace.

They are afraid of peace.

They are afraid of peace and the
Strength that it brings.

They are afraid of peace
And the agreement that it wreaks
Debasing vaunted privilege.

They are afraid of peace and the
Strength that it brings and the
Power that it brings and the
Patience that it brings and the
Caring that it brings and the
Wisdom that it brings and the
Harmony that it brings and the
Richness that it brings
To a people.

They are afraid of peace and the
Power it destroys and the
Diminution of the threat and the
Springing of the leverage and the
Lessoning of the fear and the
Obliteration of the them
And the us.

They are afraid of peace
And will ridicule and
Distract us from it.

They are afraid of peace.

Afraid of the peace.

Afraid.

Of the peace.

They are afraid.

Like I told someone who wronged me once, the problem in people bein' in peace (wich means some apologies MUST happen) is exactly people deslike to apologize. Not because one is superior when forgives, but, instead, shows is a humble person, forgettin' their own ego. This is the hardest to do.
Also, to most people, peace is not profitable... this is one of the major fators that prevent peace from ever truly happenin'.

Peace is an objective. Never fully realized, maybe, but a most worthy goal.

Yes. It will go on. We just need to be reminded, sometimes, that its happening.
