A Papered Peace
Pitiful little Japanese girl.
Cancer victim after HIroshima.
Some would call her naive.
She died while making paper cranes
to show her faith in life.
Short of her goal of one thousand,
she led the way.
A million origami folders
followed her and made the goal.
And peace came....didn't it?
It took some time to make the cranes.
And longer still to bring the peace.
But it came.
Surely it came.
It had to.
It was worthwhile, wasn't it,
when there was no killing anymore?
Wasn't it?
