Beautified Humanity: Never Unless Outlawing Pimped Wars! Poem by Terence George Craddock

Beautified Humanity: Never Unless Outlawing Pimped Wars!

Rating: 5.0


survival animal at any cost falling from cliff top height
to break broken crushed lost was not humanities destiny
but humanity has applied this hunting technique repeatedly

used against both animal and people dehumanized people
used against people in crusades religious racist mindset
crimes against humanity by humanity were brutal savagery

enlightened beautified souls scattered among humanity
aspire to arise spiritually free abhor starvation death cruelty
enlightened ask not for life but more wisdom peace mortality

enlightened souls are not sucked up in supporting fashion wars
enlightened souls spend time resources nurturing people needs
enlightened souls pray gift time energy to poor communities

enlightened souls meditate prepare body mind for new life
life not in ashes cinders wars envision prosperous societies
not suffering annihilation nation war game hatred tears fears

there is hope in this life in the next life after fashion wars
if citizens reject curse government countless war donations
hope in this life starts with refusal to kill with bullet knives

a peace promise made ultimately in purified perfect eternally

'Pimped wars' says so much in two words. You have been writing at white heat recently, so I'm glad for your recognition. Your outcry against senseless war galvanizes me. When our instrumental rationality gets twisted, it's not so rational after all.

white heat has a burn out price tag, I was just relieved to get a political spectrum completed with 'Wisdom States It Is Not Wise' and 'Fear Religious Political Inquisitions'; it is difficult to get sustained broad-spectrum political succinct and accurate

They observe, witness and feel and then write about something. Every wise king employed poets in their court, not to compose praiseworthy verses about them but rather to keep them in touch with the common/average person.

I wrote the poem 'Political Suppression Of Citizens Offends' and the split images 'Burned Out Workers Seek Escapism' and 'Cunning Attacks On Freedom Of Speech', inspired by my reply to the poet M. Asim Nehal.

P1I have thought since about twenty, that most people are so engaged with working and economic survival pressures, that they have little time to relax and think; such struggles
