To bring peace to our own "war zones"
we do not need clashing brasses,
throngs and threats of vengeful punishments,
or an armament of tired arguments.
To conquer discord and sin
we need to let divine Love win.

it's often unseen
midst mankind's tangled wrangling.
Strength is not in subtlety or numbers,
subterfuge or human knowledge.
Strength is in unity with Spirit, God,
omnipotence, omniscience, infinity.
Error isn't detonated, but dissolved
by the spiritual presence of truth.
No clanging surrounds Love's victory,
but fearless faith sits serene.
In quiet confidence of Love's power
is peace.
