That we can even imagine life without war is a testament to the higher self in us all. Perhaps in each of exists a place where we can glimpse the best of humanity.

I did not create this video and poem to discourage or depress, but to lift our imaginations to the best we could seek to achieve. When we fall short, it would be a wonderful consolation to look back one day and realize a new truth; the world is less violent because we cherish peace.

Instead of thinking how we can use more power, we should move back to realizing how powerful mankind can be.

I hate war. But I hate Nazis, Communists and Muslim terrorists even more. The brave men and women who die in wars against such evil have given their lives so we can contemplate the beauty of "Beau Soir," If we lose such wars, then we must hear the "Horst Wessel Song," the "Internationale" and god only knows what kind of music Arabs like. The Taliban won't even allow music. So you can wipe away the pacifist tears.

The high note at the end is breathtaking <3

@Thespadecaller It's when against all odds, we try to rise above the baser instincts and strive to raise the lives of those around us, that we begin to reach for the potential for good, within each of us........

Youtube is blessed to have people like you creating such soul enriching videos.

@MrPaevo Right. And the only 'peace' is in the grave.

[MrPaevo]

There was never a period "before the wars"--war has always existed.
