Proclamation - Kim Stafford

Image
Whereas the world is a house on fire, Whereas the nations are filled with shouting, Whereas hope seems small, sometimes    a single bird on a wire    left by migration behind. Whereas kindness is seldom in the news    and peace an abstraction   while war is real; Whereas words are all I have, Whereas my life is short, Whereas I am afraid; Whereas I am free- despite all    fire and anger and fear; Be it therefore resolved a song    shall be my calling - a song    not yet made shall be vocation    and peaceful words the work    of my remaining days.
