Stop and Listen



Too many bombs
     Too many guns
           Too much violence~

Has deafened the ears
      The ears of People
            People who are lost in evil~

Evil of Power
     Evil of Greed
          Evil of Hate~

All the Hate that has taken~
     Taken the Life of Humans

The Heart and Soul of Good~
     Good stolen by Greed

We must STOP and Listen
     Listen to The Words of God

“Love one another as you Love yourself”

Receive his Gift now
     His gift of Love and Peace

BEFORE IT IS LOST FOREVER
     LOST~.  No one Wins
