WW2 REMEMBRANCE DAY

When all of us
would exclude none of us
from love’s compassion and kindness

The earth flourishing
children experiencing peace and love
in a world of harmonious harmony

Tears evaporating wounded hearts healed
In the absence of evil
happiness overtaking the lives of the righteous

“Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy”

When none of us
would include all of us
into having equal rights

The Universe weeping
Galaxies sweeping
the dust of human ashes

Atrocities occurring
unity shattered apart
The world whirling with cries

“Ye are the salt of the earth but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?”

Let all of us one Earth to behold and save
together be as one Human race
not separated through senseless clashes

Children and the elderly teenagers and adults
From every language every continent sharing and caring
Blessing all with their God given talents

One World one Human race
consisting of multi colors
One life created to except the noble challenge

Blessings and love in Christ,

Monique

This poem is written in honor of the Military and civilians in all countries who opposed the oppressive nazi cruelties. Many therefore were locked up
in nazi torture camps where many of them died.

It is also written for those who because of their race where persecuted and and killed
by the racist nazi regime.

Those who gave their lives to bring freedom and those who remained alive after doing so, had accepted the noble challenge to protect the world
from the evil of racism in its most evil cruelty.

After WW2 Many followed their noble example and accepted the noble challenge
to save the Earth and humanity
from evil regimes. Some of them have died also,
this poem dedicated to honor them also.

For 75 years the world has experienced harmony and peace because of the noble deeds of the heroes of WW2.

Unfortunately the world is experiencing a surge of racism like never before at the end of these past 75 years.
Even in the Netherlands dutch nazi followers are committing crimes of racism against different races.

This is dishonoring the noble heroes who died to free the world from the nazi cruelties. It is also dishonoring the victims of racism who were killed by the nazi.

The peace and harmony that lasted for 75 years is seemingly crumbling away in many places on the Earth.

There is a noble Challenge set before us all.

A challenge to choose to oppose evil racism
and any kind of other discrimination.

A challenge to save the one Earth we have
from the obliteration of WW3 that will follow
if the harmony and peace of 75 years is taken away.
A challenge to save all people from total destruction

The heroes who gave us all these 75 precious years
accepted this noble challenge.

Will you do the same to give yourself and everyone else
75 years of continuation
of the peace and harmony given to us?

We have one life to live (and after that eternal life or condemnation), one Earth to live in, let us be determined to refuse any kind of discrimination and racism that will destroy humanity and the one Earth we are all living in.

Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands
Here is part of a Dutch transcript of the speech
of Queen Wilhelmina during the time hitler occupied the Netherlands. The English version is placed after it.

She is making her people aware of the fact that this war is in fact in its very essence a war between
what is good and what is evil.
A war between God and our conscious
on the one hand and on the other hand
against the evil forces that during those days
had overtaken the world.

This speech also so well describes
the current situation the world is in.

Let our hearts be opened to see that indeed the world is going through yet another spiritual battle
between good and evil.

Be encouraged by the speech that calls forth people to be strong and fight against
and overcome the evil of racism
and other kinds of discrimination
that is destroying humanity.

Part of the Dutch Transcript
of the speech of Queen Wilhelmina 07-28-1940

“Maar wel moeten wij ons er rekenschap van geven, dat de oorlog hoe langer hoe meer zich openbaart, als zijnde in zijn diepste wezen voor ons een strijd tussen het goede en het kwade, een strijd tussen God en ons geweten enerzijds en anderzijds de duistere machten
die in deze wereld hoogtij vieren.

Het betreft een strijd, die –behoef ik het te zeggen- op geestelijk gebied thuis behoort en diep verborgen in het hart van de mens wordt uitgevochten, maar die thans op de meest onstellende wijze aan het daglicht is getreden in de gedaante van deze grote wereldworsteling, waarvan wij de ongelukkige slachtoffers zijn
en waaronder alle volken lijden.

Bij deze oorlog gaat het er om aan de wereld een waarborg te geven, dat zij die het goede willen, niet belet worden dat tot stand te brengen.

Zij die menen, dat de geestelijke waarden, die de mensheid zich heeft verworven, door de scherpte des zwaards kunnen worden vernietigd,
moeten de ijdelheid daarvan leren beseffen.
Ruw geweld is niet in staat
een volk zijn overtuiging te ontnemen.

Gelijk eertijds noch wapengeweld, noch de vlammen van de brandstapel, noch verarming en lijden onze vrijheidszin, onze gewetensvrijheid en onze geloofsvrijheid ooit hebben kunnen uitroeien,

zo houd ik mij overtuigd, dat ook in het huidige tijdperk wij en allen, die denken zoals wij –tot welk volk zij ook mogen behoren- uit deze beproeving gesterkt en gelouterd in en door al wat hun heilig is,
zullen herrijzen.”

English version of the speech on 07-28-1940 of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands

“We have to be aware of the fact, that as the war continues it is revealing itself to be in the very essence a war between what is good and what is evil, a war between God and our conscious on one hand and
on the other hand a war against the forces of evil
that have taken control of the world.

This is a war, that - if I may say so-is of spiritual origin and the battle is held and decided in our heart of hearts, yet currently it has been revealed to be embodied
in a global struggle of which we have become
the unfortunate victims and because of it
also all the people of the world suffer.

This war is meant to guarantee the world,
that those who wish to do what is good,
will not be hindered to accomplish it.

Those who think, that the spiritual principals that humanity for ages has harbored,
can be destroyed by the sword,
must come to see the futility of such endeavors.

The aggressiveness of violence is never able to take away the noble spiritual convictions of a people.

In the past neither the violence of weapons, nor the flames of the faggot, nor impoverishment and suffering were able to destroy our freedom, our liberty of conscious and our freedom of religion, even so I am convinced that that at this present time we and also all people, who are like minded, no matter what kind of race they belong to, will be strengthened through this trial and purified through their faith in the divine,
to arise once again.”
