Despite our struggles as humanity we are a people that are resilient, we are as resilient as the strong current of the sea, we hit hard with our problems, peace is crying out there to be heard. The people make up the will and power of peace, it is not religion nor politics that sustains the will of peace, the people speak, religious leaders and politicians temper around with people’s lives for their own selfish reasons, the house of congress may shut down but the will of the people will be defiant, people’s health can never be held at ransom by the forces that are against peace, peace is at its meltdown as politicians are at loggerheads to negotiate peace, when all is said and done it is the masses that speak peace and their speaking will make the world go round again.
