[title: heads-of-state // state-capitals]
the cold war was a war in our minds
(consider vietnam in today's news)
it was said to be won in the physical
yet the mental war never stopped
it is time for a new peace between worlds
between the minds, to work together
towards a new peace, and the physical
to work towards a peace yet manifested
the cold war inside us must stop
it is destroying us all, everything about us
that is good, decent, worthy as people
we are not each other's enemies,
ourselves our greatest enemy and
without friends, we must protect our
selves both together and apart
as our futures require this
it was never binary, or if so, the physical
war was won, the mental war was lost.
though the analogue of each is more
towards true, both lost-and-won, each,
and changing, no need to keep fighting.
new grounds, foundations, relationships.
new diplomacies, actions, possibilities.
it starts with peace, of mind, of bodies.
to forgive, a necessity to be freed,
memories remain, the pain, forever witness
yet change and transformation bring futures
never imagined, dreamed, or foreseen
and magic happens here, between us
humans in all walks of life, in many ways
cease fire, of the mind, of the bodies
cease the destruction of the bodies, of the minds
the insanity of war lives within people, to-day
daily, never ending, and relentless
please, please bring peace
please remember the children, all children
young and old, who have suffered, are still
suffering, from the pain of this unending war
please bring peace back into the world
into the hearts, into our lives
may it transcend our limits
and bring us into another world
where we are brought back together
from the brink of insanity, into today
and ready to act for all, with all in mind,
in body, to build a new world as one
