Thinking

6/25/42


Our thoughts turn to those of peace;
We pray hostilities cease;
The words on the lips of all,
"Remove from us now this gall."

Lips speak; wo say we abhor
Denounce and despise this war;
Yet no war could ever rage
If man did not set the stage.

Man enjoys war and conflict;
It pleases baser emotion
To which most are addict;
van delights in world commotion,

Thoughts are true force which start
Anything new on this earth;
Even a new beating heart
To which a mother gives birth.

Thoughts are the real things that make
This world in which we are;
It is sort of give and take;
Our thoughts are a shackle bar.

Our thinking is the fetter
That we alone must control
To make this world better
And achieve a peaceful goal.

Thinking produces the act
That we desire to effect;
Thoughts seal forever the pact;
All we can do is accept.

Think what we wish to achieve;
It shall be ours to receive;
Mind thru thinking actuates
That which thought initiates.

Make way for thoughts of peace
hen soon all fighting will cease;
Think today for tomorrow;
Eliminate all sorrow.
    

Editorial note: "Hostilites" in the second line is almost certainly a typo, so I have corrected it in the transcript.
