[ With all of these shootings, it feels like we are living in the old west. ]
It's happening all over the world only its call by a different name. The victims mostly all feel the same way, violated. While the evil continues using the "Rights of Destiny" by a different name in a different culture.

This is a story about Cat Stevens song "Peace Train"
The air crackled with tension, the dusty road between the warring villages a chasm of distrust. Amina, a young woman from the west, stood poised on the edge, heart pounding a rhythm of fear and yearning. Across the divide, eyes just as wary watched from behind the crumbling brick of the eastern village. This had been their world for generations, a dance of suspicion, a lullaby of fear.
But Amina held a melody of a different kind in her soul. The echoes of Cat Stevens' "Peace Train" played on repeat in her heart, its hopeful lyrics a whisper against the wind. Today, she carried the song on her lips, her voice rising hesitant over the silence.
At first, her song was met with stunned silence. Then, from the opposite end, a solitary voice joined in, then another, and another. The melody, fragile at first, began to weave its magic, bridging the chasm brick by fragile brick. Soon, voices from both sides echoed the hymn of hope, tears tracing paths down dusty cheeks.
The song was the first step on a long journey. Amina's courage sparked conversations, hesitant at first, then blossoming into shared stories, fears, and dreams. The women, the mothers who bore the brunt of the conflict, found common ground in their yearning for a better future for their children. They formed a fragile tapestry of understanding, pieced together with shared meals, whispered tales, and quiet acts of compassion.
One day, Amina led a group of women from both villages, their hands linked, toward the abandoned well that stood as a symbol of their division. Together, they hauled ropes and buckets, sweat mingling with the tears of reconciliation as they revived the lifeblood of their land. The water, once a source of conflict, became a symbol of their united future.
The journey was not without its bumps. Old prejudices flickered like dying embers, whispers of doubt threatened to extinguish the fragile flame of hope. But the women, their voices bolstered by shared experience, stood firm. They became bridges, their unwavering resolve paving the way for others to follow.
Slowly, the villages transformed. Children from both sides learned together under the shade of an ancient olive tree, laughter replacing the echoes of gunfire. Men, once warriors, forged tools from their weapons, tilling the land together, sowing seeds of peace instead of discord.
The peace train that Amina envisioned wasn't a literal train, but a journey of the heart. It was the courage to step outside the familiar, to reach across the chasm and bridge the divide with a song of hope. It was the recognition that the enemy isn't always across the border, but sometimes the fear and prejudice within ourselves. And it was the unwavering belief that even in the darkest of nights, the dawn of peace can break through, nurtured by the seeds of compassion and the voices of those who dare to sing a different song.
The journey continues, one song, one shared meal, one act of kindness at a time. But in the eyes of the children who now play together, free from the shadows of the past, the promise of a future built on empathy and understanding shines brighter than the sun. And in the echoes of their laughter, the chorus of the peace train rings a melody of hope for a world where borders fade and hearts come together, one brick of kindness at a time.
