Peaceful Without Ceiling


Brothers
The time has come
To disarm
And open your arms

Seek an armistice
For the war within
Come home to your hearts
They have long been yearning your arrival

The power you errantly seek
Outside yourself
Is 
The mastery of yourself

The missiles trained upon
Adversaries real and imagined
Can be dismantled 
Once you dare to embrace your own vulnerability

Come to know 
And foster from within yourself
The qualities of your divinity
Wisdom, courage, love and compassion

You must surrender to the futility
Of change forced upon others
And focus your energy and attention
On being the change

Exchange conditioned one-upmanship 
And give men 
A hand up (one by one)
Nobody gets left behind

Convinced from within
And with every fibre of your being
That all is well
Will make the world safe for everyone

A reverence for all life
Beginning with your own
Will make obsolete
Mindsets of domination and destruction

Look no further 
Than the image in the mirror
For both 
Thine enemy & your saviour

Therefore:

Know thyself
Know thine enemy
Love your enemy
Love yourself
