Caught in the crossfire of war

I stand with innocent women and children
Caught in the crossfire of war
In the uncompromising crucible of conflict
The innocent who swim in their own blood
Far from their leaders in secured comfort.
We are adrift in a morass of the bankruptcy
I look up
And see that residual trauma of our human journey has risen to the top.
Leaders bereft of humanity
Compromised. Broken men.
Ochestrating a coup d’état to execute our freedom
Using age old divide and rule.
As warring warlordism
Stirring the cauldron of geopolitical strife.
These are dangerous times.
Knowing thy enemy is to know oneself.
A wise sage, Sun Tzu elucidated.
In our genocide of values
We have forgotten who we are
And barbarism dictates rules.
Everyone has the right to peace.
Let’s strip the hypocrisy of world powers
The fabrication of bullets and missiles that take the lives of innocents.
Are the grotesque underbelly of all global powers
housing these factories of death.
The future needs peace
It’s the freedom of all
And the self-determination of all people.
It obliges us to resist the violent rule of patriarchy
And the technocratic world government of powerful elites
Before we disintegrate and
Bury ourselves deeper into the dark night of civilization.
Arise the rainbow warriors
From the magnificent diversity of our world.
Let us end war and violence
Let us celebrate women and children
Let us safeguard the legitimacy of existence of all.
Because that is the way of Natural and Divine Law.
That is the evolutionary arc that leads us to that yearned peace we all
carry deep in our heart.
I will always stand with the innocent.
The grandmother
The mothers
The children
The vulnerable.
