Reflections on BLACK OUT...

the mounting loss the heartache and tears 
what be this devastation that prevails 
why these imposing fears and travails 
are we not to go beyond the illusion of gain 
are we not to perceive war's depth of pain 
are we not to hold reverence for each gift of life 
are we not to create a world beyond bitterness and strife 
what calling plea shall we answer this very day 
within our hearts and visions PEACE be The Way 
when all refuse to destroy their fellow man 
 PEACE will be the prevailing command.
