No More
No More
The Spirit stirring
Fighting strong
Groaning, Yearning,
To stop these wrongs.
To fight for justice
To fight for life
To fight for peace
With Holy might
To, without shame,
Stand up and shout
That justice
None
should go without.
"How long my children
Will you tolerate
These crimes, these wars
This endless hate?
Stand up! Stand up!
I beg and plead
The hours fade
The world's in need!
There are lives to save
And wars to end
Hands to hold
And hearts to mend…
The time has come
The time has passed,
This apathy
Cannot last!"
In heaves
Like ocean swells He cries
As humanity stands idly by
While thousands suffer
And hundreds die
In a world that
Rarely questions why.
"No more! No more!
I draw the line,"
Search your hearts
Search your mind
Simple needs
The world can meet
And violence
Love can quickly beat.
"Non-violence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time...The need for Man to overcome oppression and violence, without resorting to violence and oppression..." -MLK Jr.*
