When

 


When


When all our anger’s overturned

and innocents are free at last

from bloody sword and hellish burn,

when wars are relics of the past,


when Man’s uncertain enmity

presents, in breach, from evil’s womb

and love becomes our legacy

as Mars is sealed in Satan’s tomb,


a marble, gilded monument,

inscription etched with golden rhyme,

will sing the dirge, the grim lament

to chronicle, to rue the time ...


when eyes beheld what souls abhor,

when children slept in arms of war.
