ARC


Prejudice, Hate, Violence, Unfairness, Inequity:

headline banners that scream day in/day out.

Country to country there is no place safe:

agony, suffering, pain, keening – throughout.


Wealthy leaders demonstrate the worse:

racism, warmongering, apathy dominate.

The poor, always the poor, suffer the most:

throwaways, no meaning - ever after their fate.


There are righteous and inspirational words:

beckoning us to fervently hope and pray.

`We the People’ represent uncountable legions:

who believe divine human love is THE WAY!
