Wanted Wished

Many are heard to say,
There is a need wanted wished...
For peace to live it and this to get.
Yet on their terms to debate and argue,
Who should do what.
How that is done.
And when to pretend to listen to those,
Demanding attention to them given...
From everyone made these days,
To accept division, conflict and hatred.
As if a must to have in their homes to share,
With neighbors, relatives and close friends.
Whoever is left with tolerance and cares.

In a doing to prove,
Peace to achieve happily received...
Can not be appreciated,
Without agony, suffering and physical abuse...
First to feel and the tormenting believed.

As if being initiated to experience pain,
Inflicted to maintain the meaning of peace.
And its benefits.
Before recovering to heal and mend,
The regaining of complete consciousness.
Applauded to have survived,
A going through...
Some kind of 'rite of passage'.

Then told a part of life to have earned!.
Has been accomplished successfully.
By those quick with attempts to imitate,
Their version...
Of what wholesome self righteousness is!

'No. No, no!
Head up with a bit of a tilt to the side.
To your right.
Uh....
Try your left.
Yes.
Much better.
Then eyes down. Yes.
With an expression of innocence in them.
Yes.
Now...
Keep that pose,
As I place the halo on your head!'

'On top of the thorns?'

'Of course.
We want it wished to depict peace.
Right?
Not the reality of how it had been achieved!
And...
Take a breath in and hold.
Perfect.
It's all about the giving of image.
Remember...
Captivate with agony and grief.
Then empathy sold to sell,
Puts profits in pockets!
Always.
Never 'if'!

'How about a picture of me,
Holding my crown of thorns in my right hand.
Then looking up towards the sky,
Smiling with my eyes.
Glistening with applied faked tears.'

'If you can do that...
We will pack stadiums around the World.'
