ODE TO PEACE
To you President
of the world, who speak of peace in your speeches and...meanwhile,
you buy weapons and cannons...
To you religious men
and preacher, who show the others the cross of Peace
and...meanwhile, you put into the head of man, the fear of God and
the sentiment of sin
To you teacher, who
give your pupils lectures about Peace and...meanwhile, on the
week-end you may go hunting...
To you militant of the
parties, who give your comrades the kiss of Peace and...meanwhile
you want to change the world often violently
To you men, women,
preachers, president, militants, teachers, religious men, to all of
you members of the alternative movements who speak ill against
those, in the name of Peace
Listen to a secret
about Peace
Peace is not an
intention, Peace is not a speech, Peace is not a law, Peace is not a
lecture, Peace is not a kiss, Peace is only that...
Like a flower that
lives in our garden, like a river of which we are the source, like a
star of love, light of the heart, sun of our eyes
Peace is a result, a
fruit, a wave of the sea, wind of the mountain
It never comes from
outside, It cannot be built, It cannot be learnt, It cannot be
bought
Peace is nothingness,
the desert, the emptiness, state of joy within us, death of
contradiction within us, elimination of lies within us, destruction
of conflicts within us
Capacity of leaving, of
loving, of smiling, of crying, of playing, of suffering, of dancing,
of singing, of leaving, of looking tenderly at a bird, of giving an
amorous kiss to nature, of smiling at a butterfly, of caressing a
child
Going inside and
outside of ourselves, like a trip to the lost paradise...
Peace is absence,
infinity, the absolute
Peace is to be at peace
with ourselves |
