Violence Is A Dead End

What ever we do, if we are to be on the path to world peace, equal rights or more civic unity then the answer is not violence. Wars were fought years ago to settle any differences or misunderstandings between groups of people with conflicting beliefs and loyalties. We have in history a war fought because of something as trivial as an ear. President Barack Obama in his speech at Cairo today demonstrated the many similarities in people who think themselves so different. Why then are we fighting? And if we are destined for progress why choose violence? Violence is a Dead End.

 

Violence Is A Dead End

 

Very many listened from many countries too

I watched as again he sculpted history in his Cairo debut

Obama is never surprising but my admiration grows

Learning each time the wisdom of what he knows

Experience is a great teacher but faith is best

No doctrine has every superseded its test

Countries in their pursuit of freedom and rights

Exterminate other countries in brutal fights

Islam and Christianity have similar belief

So why do these religions sustain so much grief

As a young boy in Indonesia where people were predominately Muslim

Didn’t prohibit the Christian few from their worship, didn’t stop him

Even though he was but a boy he fully understood

A people shouldn’t be stopped when their values are good

Do on to others as you would have that they do onto you

Explains the paths of these religions and there are others too

No future lies ahead when religions are identified by cruel trend

Defined by bloodshed, not when Violence Is A Dead End
