May the world get a grip. And politics shall flip. Much to heal and recover. While love and peace. Should be the answer.

These few lines are so dear to me. They seem so simple. The sound of each line could be as simple as the truth. But here is the truth. My truth. While the truth just so. Turned into an oxymoron. Neither those lines nor the truth is simple. Obviously. Yet it’s shattering. Deeply. At times it feels like p*wer, p*litics, t*rritorial dependencies have overruled love and peace. And it shatters me. Deeply. Again.

‘Ordinary’ people suffer for the claim of ***. And so I wonder. What is the matter? Does no one look, Or care. Or break. Over the pain. And the enduring of the ones. Who aren’t able to be choosing?

Very interesting essay about historical causes of war and paths to peace in this world by Rubbasmehboob
