the whichness of what

the whichness of what. . . 

one day 
the being- 
had a conference 
with the others- 

all decided 
to halt all 
killing 
and general mayhem 

they knew it would 
take some study 
they knew it would 
not be easy 

so many beings 
were used to such 
a high level 
of violence 

but it was decided 
for now 
and forever 
that 
life 
without violence 
would be 
better 

schools were created 
to study the issue 
papers were written 
and shared 
beings traveled 
everywhere 

to get a consensus 
of opinion 
regarding this 
decision 
to live 
a peaceful 
life 

to give 
unto others 
and to be like 
the magi 
the really, really 
wise ones 

there was 
much opposition 
to this idea- 
rather than live in peace 
many wanted to kill 
the opposition 

opposing what?
well, various things, 
like whose God was greater 
whose monetary system 
was better 
whose way of life 
must dominate 

but the beings persisted 
in the perusal
of peace 

until they arrived 
at the unshakable conclusion 
that it really 
was better 

to all get along 
and to take care 
of the planet 
they all called 
home 

all the animals should 
be provided 
for 

the air should 
remain 
breathable 
and free 
for all 

the water should 
be pure 
and running 
down 
natural 
sweet 
streams 

no being 
should be perpetrating 
violence 
on another 

and they went 
further . . .
inside our heads 
should be 
a no-fly zone 
no flying around of
hatred and self doubt 
no negativity 
allowed 

somehow 

schools were created 
and papers were 
written 
and 
beings traveled 
everywhere 
having conferences 
and conventions 
studying this 
new 
way 
to live 

is this the future 
or has it been 
our past 

when are we 
gonna 
get it ??
