Could a Poem Stop the War?

Could a poem stop the bombing?

Could a poem help us see

How much we have in common?

Could a poem set us free?

Could a poem change our thinking?

Could a poem help us find

The peace that we are missing?

Could a poem change our mind?

Could a poem stop the bleeding?

Could a poem stop the war?

Could a poem ask the question

What are we fighting for?
