How many of us have great . . .

wealth and stock portfolios?
mansions and expensive possessions?
physical beauty worthy of admiration?
energy and an age corresponding with youth?
political power?
fame so that everyone knows our name?
prestigious careers with a long series of achievements?
recognition by religious institutions?

How many of us have  . . .  just . . . words?

One voice is barely heard, and maybe it’s not even heard at all, especially if it’s a woman’s voice.

But what if billions of us joined our words together in a collective chant . . .

Peace

Peace

Peace

Peace

Peace

Peace

Peace

Peace

Peace

Peace

Peace!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, that these words could be loud enough, powerful enough, to overcome armies.
