Ukraine and Russia are still at war for months and maybe years more children are no longer out to play i bow down and pray it won’t stay.
war ruined communities and families disrupts economic fabric of nations creates long term harm to people reduction in human and material capital.
war is never the answer to a dispute it’s never the solution nor absolute i hope one day we’d be happy and gay i bow down in supplication and pray.
Iran sentenced 15k protesters to death of “enmity against God” and “spreading corruption on earth” a punishment for not being obedient or simply being an oppressive tyrant?
tyranny is at most harsh and cruel prevents people from reaching full potential i hope one day we’d live freely i bow down in plea and pray.
more than the war in Ukraine and the tyranny in Iran we all rage our own wars we all are silent tyrants.
these kind of wars are even more dangerous it destroy self worth, dreams and ambitions the tyrants among us are more oppressive it put a death sentence to all that we hope and we believe.
i bow down in supplication and pray we find inner peace one day.

I join your prayer to mine and mine to yours. We are a warring species – seeking out conflict both internal and external. And the perversity of the species is that if we can’t find conflict, we manufacture it! We need to be saved from ourselves!
