War: man's abysmal abyss-plunge, part 2

Return to the table of contents

1.

In the inner world
War-mongers are
Pitiful fear-hostages.

2.

Man's familiar war-excuse:
I was not responsible.
He, only he.

3.

A man of war
Does not actually need anything
But wants everything immediately.

4.

Alas, the heart
Cannot understand
Why and how
The mind's war-insanity
Is escalating.

5.

We do not need
Heaven-born saints
But just earth-born seekers
Who believe in peace
And want to live in peace.

6.

War-mongers are first-class
Insecurity-coward-singers.

7.

He who loves war
Is undoubtedly
The abysmal terrorist.

8.

God-lovers long for
Ever-advancing peace.
War-lovers desire
Ever-multiplying destruction.

9.

A war-lover,
No matter how long
He chases after satisfaction-deer,
Will never succeed.

10.

It is the height of absurdity
When the war-mongers interpret
In their own way
God's all-fulfilling Peace-Delight.

11.

No human stupidity
Can take the place
Of the animal brutality:
War.

12.

War enjoys
Helplessness-cries.
Peace enjoys
Fulness-smiles.

13.

A man of war thinks
It is beneath his dignity
To visit a mental asylum
Although he is absolutely
The perfect patient.

14.

War is the victory-drum
Of the animal consciousness.

15.

War is the stupid winner
Of futility
And the unavoidable loser
Of dignity.

16.

A man of war is, indeed,
The worst possible
Self-doubt-sufferer.

17.

A man of war
Does not care for his heart
As long as he knows that
He has a world-devouring mind.

18.

War is at once
Mind the thief
And heart the grief.

19.

War shows me
The utter helplessness of earth
And the shocking indifference
Of Heaven.

20.

War-enjoyers cannot answer
The simplest question,
Which any child can:
"What is life?"

21.

A man of war
Has the face of shameless pride
And the heart of deathless insecurity.

22.

War is man's
Mind-prison-slavery.

23.

A war-monger is destined
To be a sorrow-millionaire.
A peace-lover eventually becomes
A joy-billionaire.

24.

In the inner world
War-lovers are
Insecurity-dancers.

25.

War-mongers do not respond
Even to God's
Urgent emergency Calls.

26.

War-lovers are never permitted
To enter into the heart-kingdom.

27.

War is man's
God-Satisfaction-promise-devourer.
