(From da Soul all GOOD)
High in the clouds of anger
fizzle all hope
High in the skies of measure
muzzle all hate
Sense and sensation can date
but the marriage fades
in time
Parts and paths may irk
but our carriage jades
with time
From da soul all good
Deep in the news of anger
drip all bile
Deep in the views of elders
drip all writ:
Let the young beware
Ply not the beaten path
Root for peace
Pile not on rotten parts
Build in peace
Fresh in the waves of nature
hold ya flag
Fresh in the hearts by reason
bear love-tags
May the young be warned
Pray peace, I plead
And hold ya world
Copy Sage Ghandi
Pray peace, I sing
And own da world
Follow Mandela, our dear Madiba
Yes... for in ya soul all good
Today's BBC World Debates (Special) in Doha, Qatar was indeed quite special. Pa Shimon Peres, deputy prime minister of Israel, was the distinguished guest, and he spoke with wisdom, pain, courage, hope and trust. He was absolutely honest and decidedly upbeat. He was calm, he was distinguished.
Palestine and Israel must make peace. It is the only right and sustainable outcome for all the hate and bile and deaths and carnage and talks and road-maps.
If Israel can make peace with Egypt and Jordan, why not Palestine!
The best way for the young in both States is to focus on the future, and work positively without bitterness. Study the past, if you will, but only to use its lessons to work for good. Don't repeat the bad past. It is useless and senseless.
The questions were relentless, urgent, agitated. Expected. His mien was disarming and his soul shined through his measured words and exhortations: "I didn't come here to win a/the debate". Every interrogator was respectfully nudged to be an interlocutor by the wise phrases and eye to eye contact of a genuine master of peace - The living Sage of Israel. The hall melted in his wake, and we hope the theatres of war and conflict will follow suit.
Apostle Peres got a resounding and warm applause from a predominantly Arab and largely young audience: befitting a balanced envoy of conscience, who has seen it all.
Let each cabinet, every world capital listen. BBC should extend its repeat broadcast specially: say once every week for FIVE weeks.
My respects.
