INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY
September 21, 2010
We have awaited a declaration
from some official
inter-governmental cabinet,
even one that comes from the
"Disunited Nations,"
in order to celebrate
on September 21st
PEACE FOR ONE DAY.
Even this was a tentative date
but so many of us, anxious poets,
expected to write verses
condemning all the wars
in the headlines.
However, the official
murderer's hands
have been loosened
since the first day
when invasion and greed
were atoned with
the boot of victory.
Still we write.
