Me and the girls, the members
of the congregation, walking
marching as one, under the bright sky
to the Capitol, under the dome
down the street, on the main street
Walking for peace, together,
to rethink the decision to fight,
to raise the Dogs of War,
to loose the terrorist threat,
the extremists in the sand, in the streets
Captive in the desert, in the heat,
on the ground for these many months
watching the rise of violence, the
growing threat, of long delay
the tide turning, slowly.
May we have days of peace,
in the months to come.
