    <description>Peace;

I believe that to attain Peace, we must converse not only as a nation, but with as many peoples as we can.

Please, feel free to reply if my pieces either offend you in any way, or especially if they deeply move you in a positive, inspirational manner.

I will do my best to put out as much of my thoughts here as I have time for.

I do also have a blog on Myspace. My profile is simply my name (John Redig), so if you like my works here, just look for more, as well as how to contact me if you so wish on Myspace.

I will be open to replies by all, so feel more than free to post as much as you want in response to my blogs.

Peace In,
John</description>

            <title>Relavent: We Are</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;A man named Andrew wrote the first piece, or first part of the piece on a poetry group which I am a part of, and I was inspired to write the next piece, or second half.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said I can use his part if I wish, so here I am doing just that, and thinking about using it for open mic nights.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you will enjoy it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They ask us to vote&lt;br /&gt;And we have no reply&lt;br /&gt;Your voice can and will be heard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We scoff in their faces&lt;br /&gt;News is evolving everyday&lt;br /&gt;We choose not to notice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History being written in front of our eyes&lt;br /&gt;We close them tightly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question authority&lt;br /&gt;We question those who question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A change can be made&lt;br /&gt;We can spark the fire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Educate and speak&lt;br /&gt;We can be relevant again!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I found his writting to be very enjoyable, but that it could be added to, although standing well on its own.&lt;br /&gt;So, I then wrote:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once we open our eyes, &lt;br /&gt;We will see the prize.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our world granted to us by the many, the we.&lt;br /&gt;United as one; untied, and undone.&lt;br /&gt;We will win a victory for all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A true, and lasting freedom.&lt;br /&gt;Freedom from opresson is not dumb.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Freedom from the chains of war.&lt;br /&gt;Freedom from the chains of our Fashistic whore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once the guns of the corrupted world cop just drop, &lt;br /&gt;We all will cop a pop of the true freedom.&lt;br /&gt;The greatest truth is that it allready has begun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The Life of Peace, The Life of Ease</title>
            <description>When we open up our eyes and realize &lt;p&gt;The World isn&amp;#39;t so bad, it&amp;#39;s like&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have only just begun to live the life of peace,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To live the life of ease&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daydreaming while still cognizant,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Awake and Lucid...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spirining into the unknown,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Future so full of potential,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lessons learned from the past&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shadows cast be reflections,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Omnipresent Presence of all that exists&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maintaining a balance with all which is;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is my reality&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reality; that&amp;#39;s an interesting word,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Interesting, yet still relative,&lt;/p&gt;Yet at the same time entirely relevent. &lt;p&gt;A Peacefull Reality allways relative to that which could be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allways, situations of my circumstance could be worse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The worst is only when this is not fully understood.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Peace; Not Just a Season</title>
            <description>Peace; not just a season,&lt;br /&gt;
A way of life&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This should be every activists motto.&lt;br /&gt;
No, not just every activist, but everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet I see these so-called &quot;Peace &amp; Justice Activists&quot; on the T.V., and I know it&#039;s not all of us, cause I have been there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These so-called &quot;Peace &amp; Justice Activists&quot; going, and smashing windows out; What the Shit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whats the reason, thier purpouse? - To have fun?&lt;br /&gt;
Go to get some twisted in their dilusionized heads job done?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That kind of behavior does not contribute to Peace, or even any kind of twisted Justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Come on Comrads, get your shit together, if you want, write a book if you are so full of &quot;Logic.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just don&#039;t make the cops feel it is thier duty to pepperspray me in the face again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...So, Peace, not just a season, a way of life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Life... to some this word brings mostly strife, but to me, its just... life.</description>
