Collective Minds Revolution for World Peace
Collective Minds Revolution for World Peace
When we raise a child with love and compassion
Then that child will grow up with love
In his or her heart and soul,
With the compassion to be kind and help others,
This is the beginning of world peace.
To have love and compassion within
Is to know peace, and the only way
To teach others to acquire these same
Qualities is to share with them
Our thoughts and kindness.
By coming together and sharing thoughts
Of love for all and a desire for world peace,
something wonderful happens, there is growth
And a new power of force is created,
The power of collective minds.
It takes one person to light a lantern,
Which means to empower and enlighten
Others to work for the good of all, and soon
There is a revolution of collective minds,
Praying for the same thing, world peace.
A new kind of revolution begins
That is built by love, not hatred,
Acted upon by kindness, not war,
Supported by compassion, not malice,
And the belief that peace is possible.

This verse was inspired by Join The Revolution by Tony DeLorger
“When love is all there is in thought,
not blame, not vengeance or malice,
then there can be no contention, no war, no hatred,
and thoughts may return to creativity, sharing
and a compassionate world of peace.”
– Tony DeLorger
I have always liked to write.It is important to me that writing comes from my heart and soul. When writing poetry, if I do not feel a spiritual connection to what I am writing on, I will discard it and go on to something I can connect with on a spiritual level. I live in the moment, I write from the past or beyond the veil. When writing fiction I go with whatever inspires me at the moment - it could be funny, sorrowful, romantic or sometimes done with the use of colloquial language from mountain folk or other cultural regions.
I began writing content online in 2007, starting with BellaOnline - A Voice For Women, where I was the Native American Editor, Folklore & Mythology Editor, and the Appalachian Editor. I also wrote articles forThe Examiner, Daily Two Cents, and Yahoo. I am currently an author on HubPages.
Most of what I write takes a lot of research and I love it. Even if it is a fictional story, I will research for accuracy in whatever it takes to make my characters, their era, their location, etc. become realistic to the reader.
I hope you enjoy my works. Thank you for visiting.

Amen Phyllis, well done! x
Ah! Thank you, Tony. x Viva la Revolution!
Such an ambitious thought Phyllis – but we seem to be lacking on the parents who are capable of instilling these values in their children. Instead we get polarized, politicized, mini-me’s which spout out their parents or teachers viewpoints long before they are even capable of understanding them.
Peace is possible, but our world still has some work to do; thankfully people who think like you are out there writing about the hope and grace that come with that peace (let’s hope it brings more people over to the good side)
Thank you, Ralph. You are so right on the lack of parents who instill these values in their children. Often children I see definitely need to learn about love, compassion and peace. It makes me wish I could open a school to teach these values we so need in this world.
Yes, there is a lot of work to do worldwide and if we can get the message of “hope and grace that comes with that peace” it will surely spread and motivate / encourage others to speak out. Thanks again, Ralph.
I couldn’t have expressed my thoughts any truer than how you’ve expressed yours here on this subject of collective thinking. Peace is something that mankind strives to achieve, yet it has blackened our souls over the millennium. What a magical world it would be if mankind could all come together in LOVE, PEACE and laying down of all armaments worldwide. Truly we would find the garden of Eden once more. But I’m afraid we are cursed and on a path of total apocalyptic destruction. We can’t turn on the t.v. read a newspaper or surf the Net without reading the doom before us. I pray that mankind will stop killing each other and mother nature. Look at the evil out there and you will see it made up by man. Our earth is rebelling too and fighting for survival. Your right Phyllis, it may take a revolution by man or an intervention from another power greater than US to bring total peace and mind cleansing to us all. Peace and blessings I send to you this day.
Thank you,Vincent. Peace and blessings to you, too – may your day be glorious. I believe humanity has the power to stop the dooms day / apocalypse fears and bring about Peace, Harmony, and Love into focus and make it a way of life for all – it is within us to achieve that. Fear of something and focusing on what causes that fear will bring about that which we fear. We have a choice: to fear total destruction or express love for peace through a revolution of minds as Tony so wisely stated.
