Dear world
a prayer
goes out
for universal
peace
our time
is now
cold wars
are over
thank God.
economic peace
world trade
free markets
open borders
a united world
preparing for stars
venturing beyond
into the heavens
and distant galaxies
cosmic peace!
Dear Lord, within me
like the molten core
of earth, I sing
creation's song
God is one
almighty presence
suffusing all things new
just now, here
and always inscribed
precisely in these words
Dear God within me
I pray for healing
in the world between
all adversaries.
May there be peace.
Create us peace
with freedom
a citizen's democracy
throughout the world
to last ten thousand years
and beyond all measure
to where we integrate
the stars into our lives
on a planetary basis
as universal citizens.
Universal citizens
arise and claim
our birthright
let the beauty shine
throughout our mother's land.
We shall grow gardens
everywhere on earth
replenish ozone
with clean green
and healthy airs
turn the earth
back into a garden planet
of millions by millions
burdens, scene after scene
our awesomely beautiful world.
Exquisite world in time
earth circling its star
the sun, traversing
our galaxy, the milky way,
which speeds away from
other galaxies, expanding
like bread baking
in universal ovens
vast clouds of Hydrogen
where stars are born
into young galaxies
in the farther reaches
beyond telescopic sight
supreme presence
permeates this cosmos
with immutable force
that power
available always
to any individual
who knows it's there.
Here, a pause
to consider
basic truth
no words
just communing
in soul
with divinity
inside
outside,
without,
beyond
throughout
truth knows
itself
to be
in truth
sparks of life
shoot through
our minds
watch, look, listen.
Cry the tears
of human suffering
feel what Jesus felt
feel the chains
of prisoners and slaves,
the whips of writhing pain
transform our miseries
to bliss in just
one simple instant
evolve our race
to farther states
of higher consciousness
may we see
with clearer vision
our immortality
as we heal those wounds
dividing us
from racial harmony
People of the world,
all colors, creeds
and nationalities
come to us alone
Give us one chance
to crack our minds
right open to reality
we live together
as one humanity
on our home planet
let's call for truce
and speak in truth
war writes all history
lay down our arms
research deep space
the people rebuild
overcome poverty, injustice
racial hatred, torture
and brutality
in God we all exist.
United peace-keeping forces
enforce the peace
teach understanding
empower the schools
to teach wisdom
to pupils in freedom
people must think
for themselves
allow reason to flourish
and nurture the individual
praise love
life everlasting
that human treasure
we measure in friends
may it be transformed
form ignorance to bliss
see through the veils
lift open the fogs
come into the sun
of God's understanding
Rise up in consciousness
gather the tribes
make peace treaties ultimate
and cleanse in the tides
make earth whole again
unfractured by time
where wars are a thing
from the past
make peace international
and permanent
a universal trust
sealed up in document
seize this moment
window of opportunity
before ego forces people
to police the earth
throw down the shields
give peace our chance
the fastest way
to the greatest prosperity
