peacemaking is a long effort--a viral effort.
it is easier to make war in the name of peace
than it is to live peace in the face of war.

if peace is being willing to die before you are willing to kill
than making peace is an always ongoing, multi-generational affair
and our children must be willing to bring attention to injustice without
enacting the presumption of unilateral exercises of power in the form of
every kind of manipulative violence that accompanies the actions of those
who presume themselves the benefactors and protectors of some cause worthy
of another's blood--metaphoric or actual.
