Imagine a world... (Tasavor Kon, by Sivash Ghomayshi)

Tasavor kon age hata tasavor kardanesh sakhte 

Imagine, even if it is hard to imagine

jahani ke har ensani tu un khoshbakhte khoshbakhte

A world in which everyone is blessed with prosperity.

jahani ke tu un pul o nejad o ghodrat arzesh nist 

Imagine a world in which money, race and power are meaningless. 

javabe ham sedaii ha police zede shooresh nist 

The answer to agreements is not the headbanging of riot police 

na bombe hasteii dare na bomb afkan na khompare 

There is no longer war, there are no more bombs, 

dige hich bacheii pasho roye min ja nemizare 

No child would leave their feet on a mine 

hame azade azdan hame bi darde bi dardan 

Everyone is free, everybody is healthy and wealthy. 

tu roozname nemikhooni nahanga khodkoshi kardan

The mass suicide of whales is no longer in the newspaper. 

jahani ro tasavor kon bedoone nefrat o gharoot 

Imagine a world without hate 

bedoon zolme khodkame bedoone vahshat o taghoot 

without cruelty, without fright 

jahani ro tasavor kon por az labkhand o azadi 

Imagine a world full of laughter, full of freedom 
labalab az gol o boose por az tekrar e abadi

Full of flowers, full of kisses in continious flourish 

Tasavor kon age hata tasavor kardanesh jorme 

Imagine it even if it is illegal to Imagine 

age ba bordane esmesh galoo por mishe az sorme 

Even just by speaking it your mouth becomes dusty 

tasavor kon jahani ro ke toosh zendan ye afsan ast 

Imagine a world in which prison is a myth 

tamame jangaye donya shodan mashmoole atash bas 

Every war in the world is sentenced to stop. 

kasi aghaye alam nist barabar ba haman mardom 

There is no man controlling the world, all people are equal 

dige sahme har ensan e tane har doone ye gandom 

Everyone has a fair share, even of wheat 

bedoon e marz o mahdoode vatan yani hame donya 

Without boundary and border , country means all over the world.

Tasavor kon to mitooni beshi tabire in roya

Imagine that you can be the interpretation of this dream

Courtasy of my friend Aram

The role of prayers

We Christians too often substitute prayer for playing the game. Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism...To your knees, man! and to your Bible! Decide at once! Don't hedge! Time flies! Cease your insults to God, quit consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame, lying, and cowardly excuses. Enlist!

Today on Peace - Anne Bronte

Monday Night May 11th 1846 / Domestic Peace

- by Anne Bronte -

Why should such gloomy silence reign;

And why is all the house so drear,

When neither danger, sickness, pain,

Nor death, nor want have entered here? 

We are as many as we were

That other night, when all were gay,

And full of hope, and free from care;

Yet, is there something gone away.

The moon without as pure and calm

Is shining as that night she shone;

but now, to us she brings no balm,

For something from our hearts is gone. 

Something whose absence leaves a void,

A cheerless want in every heart.

Each feels the bliss of all destroyed

And mourns the change - but each apart.

The fire is burning in the grate

As redly as it used to burn,

But still the hearth is desolate

Till Mirth and Love with Peace return.

'Twas Peace that flowed from heart to heart

With looks and smiles that spoke of Heaven,

And gave us language to impart

The blissful thoughts itself had given.

Sweet child of Heaven, and joy of earth!

O, when will Man thy value learn?

We rudely drove thee from our hearth,

And vainly sigh for thy return.

One day of love and peace, it can make.

One day of love and peace, 

Several days of love and peace, it can make.

Several days of love and peace, 

One week of love and peace, it can make.

Several months of love and peace, it can make.

Several months of love and peace, 

One year of love and peace, it can make

One year of love and peace, 

Several years of love and peace, it can make

Several years of love and peace, 

One life of love and peace, it can make

One life of love and peace, 

Several lives of love and peace, it can make

Several lives of love and peace, 

One family of love and peace, it can make

One family of love and peace, 

Several families of love and peace, it can make

Several families of love and peace, 

One village of love and peace, it can make

One village of love and peace, 

Several villages of love and peace, it can make

Several villages of love and peace, 

One community of love and peace, it can make

One community of love and peace, 

Several communities of love and peace, it can make

Several communities of love and peace, 

One country of love and peace, it can make

One country of love and peace, 

Several countries of love and peace, it can make

Several countries of love and peace, 

One world of love and peace, it can make

One world of love and peace, 

One eternity of love and peace, it can make

One moment of love and peace, 

One eternity of love and peace, it can make

So, why doesn’t it? 

Because this is same for hate and war… 

Gandhi's Prayer for Peace

I offer you peace.
I offer you love.
I offer you friendship.
I see your beauty.
I hear your need.
I feel your feelings.
My wisdom flows from the Highest Source.
I salute the Source in you.
Let us work together for unity and love.

How fortunate the man with none, by Bertolt Brecht

 

You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him,
To him complexities seemed plain.
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him
And saw that everything was vain.
How great and wise was Solomon.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's wisdom that had brought him to this state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became.
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same.
And as they raised the fatal knife
How loud he cried: you too my son!
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's courage that had brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied:
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink.
How honest was the people's noble son.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's honesty that brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to God's own laws.
So far he hasn't taken heed.
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve our bitter need.
How virtuously we had begun.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's fear of god that brought us to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Unde sunt cei ce nu mai sunt?, de Nechifor Crainic

Intrebat-am vantul, zburatorul
Bidiviu pe care-alearga norul
Catre-albastre margini de pământ:
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?

Zis-a vantul: Aripile lor
Mă doboara nevazute-n zbor.

Intrebat-am luminata ciocarlie,
Candela ce legana-n tarie
Untdelemnul cantecului sfant:
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?

Zis-a ciocarlia: S-au ascuns
In lumina celui nepatruns.

Intrebat-am bufnita cu ochiul sferic,
Oarba care vede-n intuneric
Tainele necuprinse de cuvant:
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt?

Zis-a bufnita: Când va cadea
Marele-ntuneric, vei vedea

Freedom, by George William Russell

I will not follow you, my bird,
I will not follow you.
I would not breathe a word, my bird,
To bring thee here anew.

I love the free in thee, my bird,
The lure of freedom drew;
The light you fly toward, my bird,
I fly with thee unto.

And there we yet will meet, my bird,
Though far I go from you
Where in the light outpoured, my bird,
Are love and freedom too.

Smoke, by Pat Ingoldsby

I don't know where
smoke goes to when
it dissapears
but I would love
to go there
right now to see
what it is like.
I think that it
must be O.K.
because the smoke
never comes back.

The bells, by Leonard Cohen

The birds they sang at break of day
Start again, I heard them say
Nor dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be.

The wars they will be fought again
The holy dove be caught again
Bought and sold and bought again
Until we set them free.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
The light behind to see.

Add up the parts, not yours the sum
Strike up the march, there is no drum
Every heart to love must come
Like a refugee

Despre iubiri

Buna seara, iubito!..pot sa-ti spun prin cuvinte ca putine mai sunt pe pamant lucruri sfinte, Ca intra iubiri prematur in morminte...
