Let Us Pray

For those who head towards war

In tanks, cafes, busses, streets

And in the minds of those so frightened

That they cling too hard to shadowy beliefs

That chokes their heart's wisdom.

For mothers who cry out loud and soft

As they lose their children to kidnappers,

Holy men and chance.

For the children who stand between thundering steel

Clutching their mothers in the ruins of civilizations

And the child caught between angry families

Flinging hatreds across a once safe room.

For those who cry out as they fight for life

Looking up to heaven as starvation

Slowly takes their children

And then lays them down to die along

A forgotten road far away beyond

The reach of civilization or will.

For those who have lost their souls

To evil creeds and great causes

Once important and now bloody

Afraid to stop the madness.

For all humanity who suffer

Unnoticed and alone that pass

Everyday tortured inside themselves

With tightness beneath the skin

Trying to appear so calm outside

And for all of us who struggle

To keep the light alive within ourselves

In the face of menacing glances

And holy wars.

Let us take a deep, deep breath

As we quiver during raising horror

To calm the raging fear that spans dark

Thoughts that cloud the spirit, take our strength,

And fuel the campaigns of terror.

Let us look deep within beyond our minds

To touch the God given loving peace

That passes all understanding

To show our children

The way shown once by true prophets,

Whose resurrection we need more than ever

In this spring of war and terror.
