Is Peace A Question, The Question

Questions. Questions. Questions. Such as

Do you like being alive? Do you like our planet?

Would you prefer if we all could live harmoniously?

Be truthful. Speak your mind. I predict there will be

A sizeable percentage would answer,” No”, or, “it depends”

To whom the ideas of peace, cooperation and tolerance are a myth

To cover taking away individual freedoms and choice; a socialist nightmare

Could I debate with them? Probably not. They have their tribe, they assume

That I have mine. So, if that’s the situation, how can we discuss any question

Without it ending in violence? Global Warming is such a topic’ Talk about it 

In general, terms, until it impacts directly on our economy, then put on the brakes

Our minds are closed, our ears, decorated. What was that, some sort of declaration?

The problem, or solution; “we” = all of us, share the same planet. 

We might treat it differently; a garden or a cesspit. Profit? I’ve heard of the word

Also, heard cautionary stories regarding the effects of over-indulgence

Is it not reasonable to say that making a profit is an acceptable thing

And that making an excessive profit by destroying the earth is not! Yes? No?

There we have an important question. “Is making an excessive profit by destroying 

the Earth acceptable?” Should we say, “No”? Then the next question.

”Is making an excessive profit by destroying the Earth morally or ethically

Justifiable?”. A parade of the old jaded, faded arguments.

This is an unwinnable war. The rights of the individual vs the rights of the collective

The two are linked by an umbilical cord. The “Haves” (and we’re gonna keep it)

Vs the “have nots” (we only want our share). The planet keeps turning

Should we, if we, decide about the future of the planet

Maybe we could discuss a small matter of peace

Forever, an optimist; I hope so.
