Time For Peace
Oh, Manhattan!
How exciting and magical you were yesterday!
With your tall, magnificent buildings,
Far from this catastrophic view -
Great pain, destruction, and all dark smoke
In today's morning so grey!
Innocent people lie around You now.
Their cries keep being heard, though.
They have left an urgent message
For all of us to be humble and wise
And to let solidarity fully grow.
Thousands of hearts riven by grief
Spending their days in distress
Just longing for a time
Bringing all the world nothing better than Peace!
