Hours at Hand

by

Diane Klammer

Our world is in turmoil
Seas are boiling over
In torrents of fury
Responding to more
Than global warming

Prime minister Rabin of Israel
Stood for peace
Was killed by violence
The song still
In his pocket
Answered by a bullet

Those who do more than dream
Of democracy are destroyed
Day after dark day
They are snuffed out
Before their flickering lights
Can take full flame

How many more slaughters
Have to haunt us?
Families from The twin tower
Tragedy 9-11 in New York
Linger with grief stricken
Loved ones mourning
Unfinished business
Amidst murmuring prayers
The world over

If we all clutched hands
Which are feeble with pain
Broken by brutality
Would it matter?

Today so much blood
Terrorizes a nervous planet.
