Fruits Of Peace
/Conflict
may be borne of hatred
Privilege
Competition
Greed
Yet these are not its root causes
Only things which feed the true source
Of what lies at the heart
of such motivations:
Fear
Fear of those who are different
Of those who might rise against us
Taking what we have
Or possessing what we desire
And what is at the core of fear?
Ignorance:
that which we do not know
The spectre haunting our waking dreams
Thus is conflict born
Of ignorance and fear
And so may be addressed
With Knowledge
Understanding
Trust
Unity
For, clothed in such armor
May hatred, privilege, competition, greed
be turned away
Thus blunting conflict
And enabling Cooperation
So that together,
we all may enjoy
The fruits of Peace
