[bodytext] => I will not kill, Not even for my country. To me, Lands are not divided by the seas, Just as my skin divides not My brother from me. Humanity stretches every inch of this soil So I claim none as my own. Life after all, Is only a temporary home. Our time here is borrowed from our children We lay down the road their feet will walk. I will not lead them into a coffin. I will not ask them to die. I will tell them that peace is worthy of struggle, That freedom is a state of mind... I will not speak the words of God as if I own them, I know the only witness to God is a dead one. I will not die for my religion, So I claim none... Prayer is spoken in my heart, My temple lies within my mind. I will not raise my fists to spead my beliefs- Because they are impermanent And ever changing Just like the world. I will not hate, Not even the most evil of men There is enough hate in the world. It is hate that poisons the heart And corrupts the mind. I will not follow my life by rules That punish murder By commiting the same crime... I will not pretend that humanity is fair or kind Or that all men are created equal. To each his own Wether meek or stone No two men are made the same... I will not forget the lessons my ancestors have taught, Or the torn world they have left me to mend... In these fields of blood soaked soil I will reap a harvest that leads to a new begining.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
