How Much
H ow much love would it take
to overcome the hate
How much kindness could smother cruelty
who would stand in solidarity
against the madness
the senseless sadness
Have we the strength to stop a mothers tears?
We have strength enough to kill
we have courage enough to die
Are there more of them than there is of us?
Is there more of that than there is of this?
Can we?
will we ever see
to kill for peace is to fornicate for chastity
Patience patience
We have strength enough to kill
We have courage enough to die
if only those of us who do
were not so close
to those who have no need to.
