Poem: No One to Fight

I spent my life
Quick to fight
Trying to be right

I was a Jedi warrior
Looking for battles,
Day and night

But now
I’m sure
There is no one to fight

The real battle
The only way to win
Is always within

The peace of the warrior
The peace of the winner
Is the peace within

Now I’m sure
There is no one to fight

About the poem:

The problems in our world, are a magnification of the problems of each of us as individuals. If I can not make peace in my family, and in my work, and in my heart, how can I make peace in the very, oh so complicated world. We must become the Jedi of a peaceful heart if we want to be powerful warriors for good in the world.
