The Last Word
Take all the fear in the world and bring it here.
Throw it in a heap.
Now find insecurity and doubt.
Locate shame and anger, hatred and depravity.
Add them to the pile.
Find every obstacle to love. Bring denial and
defiance, guilt, lies and sighs of desperation.
What does all this amount to?
How much is truth and how much is illusion?
If the whole world's suffering can't asphyxiate
your love, then there is hope for us. Hold your
love aloft in the gathering darkness and watch
peace spread its white wings wide.
If you can keep your love alive,
then war and madness won't have the last word.
Even now the dove is flying.
