There is a bus
going to the end of the Universe,
I hear they’re holding a conference there
on some small planet.

The agenda is about violence,
how to stop the killings, the wars
and the corruption in high places
that ignites and condones
violence in all its forms.

I hear they are seeking representatives
from all the worlds
still mired in violence;
first hand input
from perpetrator and victim –
of course, Earth is invited.

They wish to make it known
that the best tools against violence
are (as is so often forgotten)
compassion and cooperation.

I went to the bus stop
this morning;
I figured I could be a delegate.
Seems I’m alone....

May be, if we were to form a line...
the bus won't be so empty.

Well done, poet.
