Peacemaker or Ravenous Warrior
.
.jpg)
When the homes rupture into flame
And the warrior meets the peacemaker
Will it not be a humble reckoning?
Will not the nobility of man shine down upon them?
Will this light not rumble at the door of freedom,
The will for excellence and splendor come forth,
Be a splendid ballet upon the stage of governance
Pirouetting over all the ornately cold and corrupt?
.
Be gentle that our swollen eyes might shut
Or be done with it!
Bring our souls round to enchanting music
Or be done with it!
Spring a fountain of hope and a child’s joy
Or be done with it!
Offer wine instead of overflowing blood
Or be done with it!
.
Be a voice to the sky hovering in the heavens
Or be done with it!
Be a builder, a carpenter of love and elation
Or be done with it!
Be a consoling hand and offer it willingly
Or be done with it!
Be a martyr of peace with strength and will
Or be done with it!
.
Emerge as peacemakers, not ravenous warriors...
Exploding not in shrapnel, creating shards of gloom,
But bringing with you a hope unwrapped and bursting,
A magnificent gift teeming in truth and radiance
With stars bowing their silent expressions upon all
Lighting the paths that lead back to human charity
Where the cities of paradise lift their breathing souls...
Or be done with it…
