Wonderful Peace

Peace, peace, wonderful peace,

Flowing down from the father above,

Sweep over my spirit forever I pray,

In fathomless billows of love

In these days, when we cannot escape terror and war news everywhere I decided to read a random book from my bookshelf.   I was deeply concentrating while reading Peace, peace, wonderful peace. Then my five years old daughter asked me to play Minecraft (a video game) together.

When we started the game, I asked her; ‘would you like to play survival or creative?’

She said, ‘creative.’

Actually, she always chose creative. ‘ In creative we can do wonderful things and there will be no greedy bad zombies to destroy what we create,’ she said.

I was surprised by this intuitive pure soul of children who can understand and choose peace.

With the word peace in my mind, the creative mode on the screen in front of me, and the terror news in the background , I thought of this sarcastic story.

 

Hello and welcome

This is Mrs Entertainer and welcome to our guest Mr Truth in our popular Peace programme

‘It’s lovely to talk about Peace especially these days, isn’t it?’ Mrs Entertainer said after some brief greetings and introduction.

‘Yes; PEACE is what we really need. The world needs peaceful plans that encourage peaceful co-existence, collaboration, and creativity?’ Said Mr Truth.

‘Fantastic; that’s really interesting but sorry will continue after the news.’ Said Mrs E

‘Welcome to the recent news,’ greeted the news reporter.

‘ It seems that wars are spreading everywhere, East and west. North and south. Oh, but wasn’t that the same news yesterday. Let’s move on,’ said the reporter and laughed.

‘So what else in the new? Oh finally, some cheerful sparkly faces. That’s the best season fashion. Such a great festival. Lovely, event indeed,’ commented the reporter with a big smile.

‘ They said there is one more piece of news this evening. The world is witnessing a big deal ….a great WEAPON DEAL No further details. Thanks for watching.’

‘Sorry for the interruption. Let’s continue our talk about peace. Have you seen what was on the news Mr Truth? The big billion weapon deal. That’s a great investment! Isn’t it Mr Truth?

‘But, What is exactly that deal for?’ asked Mr T

’But of course to spread peace and safety in a the region?’ explained Mrs E

‘Weapons, peace and Safety. What a nice combination for good life.’ commented Mr T with a snort.

’It’s a weapon deal for peaceful goals, Mr Truth.‘

‘ Yes, yes, but there’s no thing to add to this great piece of news. Shall we pray Mrs E.’

‘Oh that’s wonderful Mr Truth. Let’s end our talk with praying for the success of this deal.’

‘Oh God, you’re the greatest, the most merciful, the most gracious. Make our prayers more powerful than any weapon deals. Let us have this pure innocent soul of children who love and forgive. Let our youth be creative, caring and sharing hope and peace. Let us be creative. Build and never destroy. Oh God grant us a peaceful life and grant our children a better life in a peaceful world. Amen.’

Mrs Entertainer was silent and Mr Truth left.
