Sorry,
In the heat of the fire
And the temper of the sticks
Say sorry to calm the stakes
With the heat of anger
And the thirst of the guns
Say sorry to calm the stakes
Caught in the hunger
Of the cutlass and the heat of blows
Say sorry to calm the stakes
Like water
Which quenches all fires
Like balm
Which soothes all wounds
Like the calm
Which cools all hearts
Sorry
Is the best intervener
And the greatest force
To root peace within our midst

Your heart must be in sorry, a faith and belief. For the calm will have no place in order to have peace.

I agree we need words. Not violence. Old world need to heal, not kill. When rich nations send guns instead of water, food and medicine. Who do you blame? A beautiful and hopeful poem.
