A World Without Wars and Acrimony - The Challenge and Possibility

Revisiting my archives 
Every where there is a turn there certainly is a bend. People are seen crying whilst tears are busily turning the faces into a stream of sadness. Single graves go competing for space with mass graves whilst lost rotten carcasses unveil the sorrow of their pale muscles and bones that could not cross the frontiers of survival. Some people are found laughing un-end but beneath their joy stands a heap of discomfort.
Unborn babies struggle to come out of the wombs of their mothers whose only wish is to die alone with the babies alive to collect enough evidence on the makers of an evil world without mercy. Children and mothers alike are running helter skelter for a refuge that remains a very scarce commodity. Old men and old women strive for protection from those who know no protection themselves. The disabled are left in the absolute care of solitary desperation.
Time remains an enemy and space fairly represents a demon in the eyes of those who find no place to deposit their sorrows. Tribes are against tribes. Families are against families. Non-families are against families. Families are against non-families. Enemies are against enemies. Enemies are against friends. Friends are against enemies. Friends are against friends. Believers are against believers. Non-believers are against non-believers. Non believers are against believers. Believers are against non-believers.
What a world of against and distrust! Missiles rule order and rockets administer protest. The voices of the suppressed are only heard when they go on rioting.  Bombs direct intelligence and armory decides on justice. Courts are either the first point of call towards intelligence gathering for display of military complex and might or they are the last point of call to draw intelligence for future combat. Justice system empowers who can schematize best and not who could possibly be right.
Leaders are best at detaining social order instead of creating social justice. Followers or subordinates insulate their superiors with overriding authority. Crime goes on rampage looking for victims to be persecuted. Strength and selfish interest connive with pretense to perpetuate disorder. International diplomacy is interpreted as ‘the less powerful ones can always have their say but the powerful ones will all the time have their way no matter the magnitude of casualty’. Blame game comforts those that profit from change of names of organizations that control world order without commitment to purpose. In favor of lies, facts wage relentless fight against truth so as to turn noble heads against each other.
This is a world without borders for disorder. A world that seems to know no justice. A world that is full of social strain. A world that feeds on crime. A world that is ruled on pretense. A world that has no mercy. A world that has no trust. A world that is controlled by destructive technology. A world managed by sycophants. A world without peace. A world full of poverty. A plentiful world with hungry belly. A world that truly knows no God. A world that is oiled by discrimination. A world that defies the purpose of its creation. A world that has betrayed its creator. A world that has already experienced two major wars that exterminated over a billion people. A world full of thorns. A loved world with hated contents. A world that needs divine intervention. A world that needs salvation. A world that must be rebuilt.
A world that must realize its folly and repent. A world that must call itself to order. A world that must not allow any third world war to come. A world that must expose hypocrites in order to unite the world. A world that must give independence to all agitating territories. A world that must stop the massacres and genocides. A world that must respect and accommodate refugees. A world that must stop the pockets of conflicts within and across its perimeters. A world that must cohere to unite. A world that must always strive for justice.
A changed and purified world that must resolve to swear an uncompromising affidavit to do the following without hesitation: To agree that all weapons of nature, size and power be gathered from all countries and destroyed by an independent body that would have all countries represented. To agree that no country will have special rights or powers over others. To agree that no matter the level of respect for the pioneers of world’s socio-economic order, there certainly must not be super powers when it comes to the issue of weapons. To unanimously agree to attack, eliminate and destroy any leadership of a country that refuses to get their weapons destroyed. To form independent monitoring groups in all countries that would ensure that no reproduction of weapons is possible. To agree on set of codified rules and regulations that should be protected and honored by all members.
To agree on grievous punishment for those that violate the rule of weapons reproduction. To agree that all weapons manufacturing centers are destroyed but not closed. To mount an intensive campaign on bad governance and form an independent body to oversee its compliance and forceful removal of the leaders that fall foul. To agree that there must be regular rotation of heads or leaders in the independent bodies set up. To agree that any decision reached is supported by not less than two thirds of the total membership. To agree that leaders can be impeached on misconduct at any time.
To agree that the era of the world dominated by weapons proliferation is a curse of a bane and must not be tolerated by anybody. To agree that many of the weapons in circulation are instigated and sponsored by world powers and key state functionaries and must therefore be controlled at that level but not necessarily the individual gun runners who are often victimized. To agree that the economic profits earned from these weapons are evils of human survival and must better be shunned. To agree that the world would be a safest place to live in without the so-called weapons insidiously manufactured to kill but not necessarily to protect as often asserted. To agree that dialogue, understanding, tolerance, equity, appreciation of diversity and social justice could be more of protective weapons than conventional destructive instruments.
To agree that the campaign to stop others from acquiring weapons whilst others are at liberty to do same is highly hypocritical, discriminational and unacceptable and thus must be stopped. To agree that if the current efforts to acquire modern destructive weapons is not abrogated, a weapon would soon be developed that can exterminate the whole world just by a click of a button on an explosive tool. To agree that the United Nations organization has somewhat failed in its international security obligation to protect the world and that there is the urgent need to form an independent dispassionate international security organization that is solely responsible for ensuring a trouble free world or indeed to restructure the security apparatus of UN altogether. To agree that we can really make our world a safer and most secured place to live in if we are really committed and willing to do so.
To resolve that some of the issues raised might look overambitious or even Utopian but it could certainly not be far from reach after all. All we need is to strive hard to work at it - and surely - we should have a better world - a world without wars and acrimony.
