Make Love Happen

There are so many wonderful things in this world. The air, the scenery, food, love, flowers. What I can not understand why so many people want to make life miserable for others. I can say with out qualm that nearly everyone on earth wants to live a nice life with a proper house, enough food and clothes. Not in pig in mud rolling luxury just a simple but secure life to enjoy this short time we have here. This earth is billions of years old- we live at best 80 years; many of us die before that and never  had breathed a happy or content moment during our short miserable lives. I say STOP! To every government and faction that has some power lust. No one’s religion or political ideology is worth suffering millions for. Nothing is worth dying for. If we must die let us die in our sleep after a good life. Do not tell me what life I must lead- I am moral and I aim to hurt NONE. Yet all those who rabidly profess faith seem to want to hurt others. We have only this little earth to live on and there are people striping its skin for wealth, poisoning the air, water, land. Poisoning minds to do evil things in the name of god. Live and let live. If you seek your path with a religion seek it; do not force others to tow your load too. This is free will. Free will is just that. I am thrilled you have -faith keep it. I have mine- I do not share it; it is mine, it is personal. What I want is to be left alone and I want others to feel and live how I live- a house, enough food, enough clothes, safe water safe neighborhood. It seems I want for you what I have. Do unto others as you want done unto you. Simple as that. Yet we are victimized by our own greedy governments who lust for power, lust for war- simply because they can not seem to leave others alone or be still in their minds and hearts. No child should go to bed hungry, no animal should be killed for recreation, no woman should be abused, no man should have anyone's boot on his neck- all should have meaningful work, with time for family or hobbies or leisure. How can this happen? I am at a loss to tell you except to love one another. We have such a short life here. Love one another. Live well. And maybe I will no longer cry for my beloved planet, sisters, brothers, and animal cousins.  Make love happen.
