I am a big fan of Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends, an historic peace church with a pacifist stance based on the light of God, being present, in each and every human. This poem is a tribute to their unshakeable commitment to peacemaking, awe the more relevant in times of out right, war…
Owed to Quakers
“We can no more win a war than we can win an earthquake.”
How are wee
Too shake
That dreaded feeling
Of earth shattering knews
Hearts broke in
Billions of peaces
Soully to unveil
Light shuddered
In awe of us
Of that abiding
Quakers
