War of Words
\nbetter than
\nWar of Worlds
\nCivilizations
\n“Too serious
\nto be laughed at”
\nprobably
\n“too dangerous to be.”<\/p>\n
Imagine
\nbecoming
\nthe best of both<\/p>\n
Opinions turned to stone
\nis where the stoning began
\nflip-flopping the only road
\nto awakening of consciousness.<\/p>\n
Got consciousness?
\nGet more!
\nConsciousness is a process
\nnot an end-all
\nuntil the end.<\/p>\n
Want End? Why?
\nWhat is so set in stone that
\ndeath is preferred over a flip-flop
\nof a cherished opinion?<\/p>\n
How is even a life time of an opinion
\nmore precious than life
\nwith one precious moment of truth?<\/p>\n
“Barter” pens poet Sara Teasdale,<\/p>\n
Life has loveliness to sell,
\n All beautiful and splendid things,
\nBlue waves whitened on a cliff,
\n Soaring fire that sways and sings,
\nAnd children’s faces looking up
\n Holding wonder like a cup. <\/p>\n
Life has loveliness to sell,
\n Music like a curve of gold,
\nScent of pine trees in the rain,
\n Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
\nAnd for your spirit’s still delight,
\n Holy thoughts that star the night.
\nSpend all you have for loveliness,
\n Buy it and never count the cost;
\nFor one white singing hour of peace
\n Count many a year of strife well lost,
\nAnd for a breath of ecstasy
\n Give all you have been, or could be. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
