MusEcology of Peace

I would like to see and hear and feel a peaceful day and silent night When guns are as rare as typewriters When partisan hate is as extinct as flying dinosaurs When ranting out of anger to instill fear is as astounding as love letters written on rice paper in compassionate cursive. I would like to hear free speech can't be hate preach because anger and fear and dogmatic rage are limiting and divisive and rabidly dissonant, dissociative Conserving win/lose endlessly expensive back-and-forth debate Which does not win/win free mind and body resiliently liberate. Hate speech costs our favorite EarthTribes everything, every healthy and wealthy relationship. Free speech creates rich resilient resonant musical and wise compositions, civil literature, love stories Deliberating life delivering creolizing communities, purple families, non-violent muse communications to sing our cooperative Truth and dance advance our co-invested Grace. Dialogue, heart-filled discussion restores free peace Co-empathic co-invested co-operative non-violet deep compassions Empowering multicultures dwelling in enlightened wellbeing Circles and round cursive spirals of community wellness danced In public squares and parks Under shade trees by day and freely twinkling stars by night. I would like to see and hear and feel this peaceful day and silent dancing purple night When automated guns are as rare as electric typewriters When impoverishing hate and fear-provoking speech are as extinct as predative dinosaurs.
