What does it take
to hear the silence ...
lose what's at stake?
Moments of violence?

Overlook what's sought
or forget one's past,
which nations fought
or who's word was last.

Blood on your hands
dried, thick over time.
Holy Lands ...
... oh where is the crime!

A life to live,
find your tolerance.

What's there to give ...
... just moments of silence.

Fear is a blindness, heart is the cure.   -   C. Belville 02

Yes. Moments of silence.
And if we travel down the war road too far,
we may end up with a silent world...save the sound of the roaches in the night.
I, too, wish for Peace, Craig.
