Oh Muse, bearer of wisdom, may your words
which traverse the globe
by verse affect attitudes, move objections,
lash egos, rock divisions,
reunite misunderstandings and by power of
digestion resurrect what
the populace thinks weak, kills and forgets.
May poetic energy slice through innumerable
rules, instil sympathy,
drown separation, re-find buried faith within
faded friendships, appeal
for awareness to remember hatred no more,
help those forget who,
prejudice-laden perceive many as enemies.
May powerful words smash inbuilt devisive
desire for retaliation,
create instead meant relationships, lasting
handshakes which re-shape
distance placed between hearts by age-old
spite as groundless pride
grows no happiness alongside bitter regret.
Oh Calliopé, never forgo scribes' minds for
evoking soul-felt change,
poems pleading for world-wide review of
love's fallen portals
re-invite causes for unearthing a paradise
in this war-riddled earth.
Peace needs minnions' pens, at the ready.
