Speak them loud intentionally
With heart, with soul, with tears
Attached…
Write them in notebooks
Carve them in a tree
Lovingly…
Joyfully with fingers in the sand
Declaring…
Say them in languages at the equator
At the Antarctic
South and north, east and west
But say what you mean
And mean what you say
Tell the truth
Your truth out loud for all to hear
Say your truth…
Say it loud…
Clap your hands in cadence
Write in rhyme or free verse
Put your prose on paper for eternity
Do not drop your bombs instead
Of getting mad
Anonymously from the air
Do not hide in tanks
Destroying mothers and children
Homes and gardens
From your safe vantage point
Torture is torture
No matter the method of delivery
Do not torture
Then call it peace
