where are the voices of peace
on the eve of the feast of francis of assisi
i am listening
i hear
politicians politicizing
and
executive directors of peace organizations who
seem to be lost in their own importance and
journalists
who are
using canned bits
because they have lost their voices
the world is weeping
tears are a catalyst for thoughts and prayers that
evaporate quickly
was it kierkegaard who said
prayer does not change god
it changes the one who prays
it could be that too few are
seeking and praying for peace
