This poem was included in the April- June issue of the prestigious multilingual International Magazine 'Destine Literare' published from Montreal Canada
In the patriarchal world
Patriotism and dying for one’s land, glorified
People proud of their martyrs
Our numbers more than yours!
We are far superior!
Sitting in meditation, I traveled
To realms unknown and so far away
Met heroes of world wars 1 and 2
They smiled-
what nation? What boarders?
“ where is the passion?” I sighed
“we don’t need any” they said
Awareness of the seamless oneness
Leaves no more
enemies to fight!
I returned to this world
And to my Personal wars of the mind…
Perhaps they also will disappear
Will be able to say good bye to internal wars
As I let consciousness expand…..
You have nicely addressed our concerns about external and internal wars.
