PRAYER FOR PEACE

On America's Veterans' Day

If You Say You Believe IN GOD & and That Jesus
- WHO IS ALSO CALLED THE PRINCE OF PEACE -
was his only 'begotten - not made' Son
Please say this aloud as you read

If You say you are of another, or no faith,
Please simply reflect on the body of the Prayer
WHO knows, you may possess the key to its realization

LORD of HOSTS, please hear this prayer tonight.
In a world where we still do fuss & fight,
swearing that we will, and yet, never quite
ever succeeding, in making it right.

Give us sweet grace-filled peace for long enough
That we will forget why it got so tough
That we treated one another so rough,
Yet, wondered why a fabled beast (that sloughes

Towards a Bethlehem that still survives,
Each day hoping that beast never arrives...),
Still drinks our blood, takes our children, and thrives,
On trickery & deceit that connives

To make us maim & kill up to the end.
Your DOVE with olive branch from heaven SEND.
