LOVE AND LOVERS

Chapter 21

  
Why not PLANET PEACE?

Earth is our home, our only home. We are now losing it. The air is foul, the water toxic. Wars do not warm the heart, they ****. 10,000 children on Earth die each day from starvation. Profiteers love to make weapons and money;  to them, human beings are dollar signs and expendable. Wall Street walls out those who have no wealth. Quality education, universal health care, affordable, decent housing for all--forget it. Corruption is the motif of virtually all human endeavors. All human beings are sacred, but depending on their superficiality, they are treated differently. The clothes they wear, the job they have, the title they hold, the house they live in (if they have one), the car they drive--all are facades. Wealth is not worth. Loving, and being loved, are. Most human beings are afraid to be their real selves;  therefore, they unconsciously fake a patina to impress others. If only they knew, felt, their real worth, they would break into freedom. They would feel joy and share it with all others. They would love not only themselves, but also all others. There would be Peace on Earth forever.

PLANET PEACE?

It's there for the making.
