The Anti-Terror-ist

A  L  O  H  A !

No. I'm not picking up a gun.
But what is the opposite
of harming strangers?

Love your neighbor.

We don't even hear
it's meaning anymore.
Our mind skips over
these words we have
heard before.















But when they crack open
one spies a wonder world
within. Through the peep-
hole of this candied egg
we see not mere possibilities,
but a truer sense of Real.

If you care for yourself
you can care for us all.
But that is the problem;
We do not care for ourselves.













We have been trained
to be unobtrusive and useful
by this world we enjoy.

Care for self
strikes a chord of guilt
doesn't it?

Love your neighbor
as yourself.

If one is ready to die
for an angry idea,
one is ready to kill
strangers over it.














If we live for love.
Courteous to self
and 0ther,
we are spreading
the antidote to
everything we hate.














Say hi to an Angry White Guy,
or a Muslim woman;
A Palestinian and a Jew.
Say 'Merry Christmas'
to a Christian.


Life is good.
A Gift.

Live that,
the power of that.

No telling where
it can take this world.

Thanks for visiting!

Wishing YOU all good things,

I hope lots of your readers take up the challenge to "Love thy neighbour." God is love no matter what name you call Him.

Not enough caring to go around, I guess

Yes, love is stronger than hate. A flower is stronger than a gun. The best weapon we have is to love our neighbors.
