Who is the keeper of nightmares?
Who is the killer of souls?
Blaming that which lies without,
He to whom we say our morning prayers.
If all men at once lay down arms,
Lay down arms instead of bodies,
How would the world change
Instantly if all believe and wield charm.
Instead war is kept as a curse
One from which there is no escape
For to share that much heart
We are only willing to intersperse.
We'll stay the keeper of nightmares,
We'll stay the killer of souls
Blaming that which lies without,
He to whom we glibly throw our cares.
Creating "Keeper of Nightmares"
Wouldn't it be terrific if we could all take the responsibility for our own behavior up front?
I must continually re-examine my own conscience. And you?
Afterthoughts for "Keeper of Nightmares"
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Francis of Assisi
Reject hatred without hating.
Mary Baker Eddy
Everyone should play their role in tearing down the wall of hatred.
Lalu Prasad Yadav
