Peace we think
As we hear of another casualty of war.
Peace we whisper
As we watch tragedy unfold on TV.
Peace we say
As we read newspapers of violence.
Peace we sing
As we attend our churches and healing places.
Peace we shout
As we attend rallies and vigils for the victims.
Peace we scream
As we wash the blood from our sidewalks and driveways.
Peace we cry.
As we fold ourselves in helplessness.
Peace we pray.
