Hundreds dead, newspaper headlines shout.

Shocking images,

grieving mothers,

fathers, sisters

appear on TV news each night,

while we destroy

a Western state

to practice bombing.

When will the voices of reason

break through hatred,

the ancient dance

of destruction?

When will we embrace others as

partners, humans

on the same journey

of love and life?

When

will

it

stop?

What

can

we

do?
