Peaceful Beginnings

Peaceful Beginnings On an island, in a big ocean, generals walk about think they have killed a dream and call sullen silence peace. The crushed will go on dreaming till they get what they want, maybe by then their vision has become a suffocating dream. Nearer home, in the Middle East, the mighty are trying to kill a dream by bulldozing it, they too had a vision and should know that dreams cannot be eradicated. Now they want power, and call it peace; but there are those who call it a nightmare. Of course in the immeasurable future there will be colossal amounts of peace, the sun will cross the heavens and the world will heal in silence; till, on the strand of pure sand, sky and sea may give birth to a living creature and a scream is heard.
