Prayers for Peace
A tribute to Israel and Palestine
I’m saying a prayer for Israel and Palestine. For the innocent people caught along the battle lines.
I’ve never been to those worlds before and I feel for everyone caught up in that world of war.
An atmosphere of pain shouldn’t be the first thing a child sees as they grow up, watching their world blow up.
Instead of pointing fingers and calling each other the beast why don’t let the violence cease and starting seeking peace.
If I’m not your enemy why should you inflict harm in me. We should be coming together living in harmony.
Evil will always be evil in a sense, but don’t let it make you ignorant to innocence.
I shouldn’t turn on the news and see boys and girls on fire all because their world is on fire.
I’ll continue to fight for peace until we’re out of time. Until then, love and prayers for Israel and Palestine.

Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.
