Fighting for Peace

FAIRNESS & JUSTICE

June 18, 2023

peace

What can one do to fight for peace?
Get out in the street, march with your feet.
What can you do if you oppose war?
Lay down your weapon and fight no more.

And if your politician is filled with hate,
vote for the other candidate.

For we really do have a choice
if we speak out and raise our voice
The sword will fall before the pen
if we stand together with a friend.

Fornicating for chastity
is like drinking for sobriety.
But fighting for peace is what we must do
if we want life on earth to continue.

    Masculinity is Not Toxic

    10 May, 2024

    Our forefathers would roll in their graves (and they’d roll their eyes too if they could) if they knew some 21st-century Westerners put ‘toxic’ and ‘masculinity’ in the same sentence. The truth is that healthy masculinity is a marvellous force for good.
