My Philosophy Of Peace (Shalom) Poem by Tebogo Angela Poen

When meditation doesn't work anymore
When nature seems to have turned against you
The fresh morning breeze you used to know
becoming the heavy storm with loud thunders
When the quiteness itself has become silenced by the chaos in the world
Define peace in the midst of all that

See, if you have to depend on the harmonious days to say you know what peace is, then you may never find it
Life has been a war since God and Lucifer separated
It has never stopped
The great bishops be preaching peace to the world
but the world rejects it
Or never understood it

When does it even take place?
When we having witchcraft practiced in our homelands
When the youth leave the world before the old ones
When we having way too many religions and cultures that we don't even understand
That leads us to conflict
When we need racism, capitalism, tribalism and every other word containing '..ism' to define the society
When every day one has to worry about what to eat
Every night is just another episode of crime and witchcraft

When you not content
When your soul is unsettled, crying, what is peace?
Why does the word even exist when the world is just so cruel

I guess peace is defined provided the chaos, storms, drama, evil..
Yes.. You don't have to stop the war
We may be having the wrong definition of the concept
Yes, you will visit those places that make you feel better and anew
But only for a moment
The spa treatment, nature, holiday will only give you a peace of mind
Only for that moment

So stop searching
Remember the words 'BE STILL' from God
He wouldn't tell you that if he knew it's easy and comes naturally
And that ladies and gentlemen
Is God calling you into the state of peace
Peace is Trust, assurance
It is not the absence of war or chaos
Cause war will never come to an end
It is not the ignoance of it either
It occurs in the midst of all that

To find peace, you just have to remain still while shaken
To remain calm, when threatened
To trust in God when there is no sign of hope
To remain silent when you tempted to scream
To remain meek when provoked
Assured when confused

Confusing isn't it?
Peace is that spiritual
It Confuses the devil himself
The soul knows it when it has it
It should not be a moment thing
It should occupy your space
Surrounded by all kinds of storms
Peace never fades



And That is my philosophy of peace
