Hands held up in supplication Give back to us our peaceful nation Feel the anger now transcending Love of brother, never ending Destruction in the guise of descent Heal the wounds of nation rent Put down the sword, hang up the lance Think ye now to give peace a chance. Take that eye, for eyes sake alone Tis thus for blindness we atone If thirst for blood hungers in your breast Seek sport of men as vengeance quest In these times of patriot's passion Please, dear friends, have some compassion Judge not those who's appearance be Likened to that of thine enemy From broken heart, hear my voice cry Let not another innocent die. |

Thanks for the message of peace. Gandhi and Martin Luther King will both be smiling. |

In these times of patriot's passion Please, dear friends, have some compassion Judge not those who's appearance be Likened to that of thine enemy From broken heart, hear my voice cry Let not another innocent die. Those who are ignorant to your plea, are as guilty as those who started this nightmare. |

Fantastic! These two lines scream to be heard ... "Judge not those who's appearance be Likened to that of thine enemy" If nothing else, those that died should have died that we should all demand peace! Thank you for writing this. ~Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self~ Cyril Connolly |

"In these times of patriot's passion Please, dear friends, have some compassion Judge not those who's appearance be Likened to that of thine enemy" A very poignant and powerful piece Sharon. Beautifull composed, with a wise message to all, much enjoyed my friend! Best wishes, /Kit |

Sharon...this shows your heart--but is nearly not as lovely. We differ, perhaps, on courses of action/inaction, but then? for the record, good poet people we have never even discussed it. Your level of compassion remains an ideal that I can only strive for. Beautifully written my lovely friend! |

As much as we all desire that no person gets hurt in what is to happen, peace has been, down through the ages, purchased with blood. The few have given the full measure in order that the many may enjoy peace. |
