flag wrapped round tight
gloved hands glowed white
truth told quick flight
friends fall still plight.
Around Us
The honor is
not
in death, in
destruction
the glory
is not in
retribution,
in
annihilation-
it lies in our
humanity
our
integrity
in
responsibilities
that do not
end
but begin
with the
six billion strong
around us.
