| guernica - picasso 1937 |
|
for a friend at project ploughshares.
when the gravity of her endeavor was too much holding her down.
like picasso when guernica was bombed. |

urgency is the word of our voice together;
for there were people in pain when we awoke,
and there were people in prison when we were born.
urgency is the least we can offer.
and,
outrage is the word of our work together;
for there is hurting as we do our talking,
and there is killing as we do our planning.
outrage is the least we can offer.
yet,
love is the word of our coming together;
for we came through love to see and to weep,
and we came through love to act and to intervene.
love is the least we can offer.
and,
peace is the word of our being together;
for without peace we will come too late.
and without peace we will come too early.
peace is the least we can offer.
