III.
Is this World War Three
are we destined to stay apart
regardless of the peacemakers
and the efforts of the meek
to spread giving as a
worthwhile commodity
Will the pain be daily
these unexpected jolts
of molten fear
followed by losses
we cannot afford–
this is not something
we saved up for
Will children grow up questioning
if there is any point
in following dreams
or is there a way to keep
God’s peace close, and hope
as an option, instead of a
faraway fantasy

The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page.
