Poem Title:
Poem
As if peace flowed like lava As if peace danced on the head of a pin As if peace slept in leaves of grass As if peace promised to pay attention As if peace prayed alone on its knees As if peace kissed each of us on the forehead As if peace worked from nine to five As if peace rested in the heart of every being As if war generated amusement As if war manifested itself in dollar bills As if war shaved the head of every soldier As if war opened smoking holes in the earth As if war shattered the dreams of every nation As if war worked from nine to five As if war drew a line in the sand As if war soiled the face of the planet with blood warm tears will fall recalling memories of lives lost and barely lived, of geniuses born with the promise and the vision of new and beautiful worlds no one had ever imagined - and they will walk the earth like giants in the dreams of little children, like wicked beasts in the Valley of Death, like electromagnetic beams from planets yet to be discovered – and we will all walk together in the shadow of immaculate beings not yet born who will love us
