It’s not just the nuclear holocausts that we worry about!
It’s the Little Wars that wear us down,
The fights and feuds,
The conflicts and sorrows,
Today’s and tomorrow’s
Of never-ending non-resolves
That fatigue and tire,
Bog and mire
Us down in emotions
Too frequent to bear
That lead to despair.

Our battlefields are:
Worksites
Bodies
Children
Relationships
Aging
Money
Marriage

And the Weapons of Mass Destruction are:
Despair
Loneliness
Isolation
Antagonism
Righteousness
Hopelessness
Grief
Fear
Errors
Anger
Longing
Yearning
Wanting
Giving up
Surrenders
Suspicions
Attacks
Terrors

Finding Peace is all we ask.
Making Peace is a daily task.
