~ A Peaceful Heart ~

If we are anger
We are living in hell
What we put into our minds
Brings us
To where we are
Our own weapons are…
Prejudice, fear, and ignorance
Working for peace is
Uprooting roots from
Within us and others
What of us others ask…
Give


There are always ways to
Solve our problems
Always ways
Without killing
The person we call our “enemy”
Is also suffering
Deeply
When we
See
This we
Have the capacity
To love
We have compassion for
And accept one another


“Enemies” are illusions
They are individuals who are
Suffering and greatly need our compassion


Forgiveness is
The fruit of awareness
Forgive kindly
Mindfully
It will allow us to see
Root causes that lead to them
To suffering
This occurs naturally
And this allows
Compassion
To be given
