When?

 I stood at your feet so long ago.

Cold war, war in Lebanon, war.

We couldn't have imagined a wall,

Falling, coldness into friends.

Now here we stand again.

Have we learned so little?

When might we actually take

The machines and melt them?

Make them into life giving instead

Of life taking? 

Can we wait for Christ to bring it?

Or might we need to do the work?

The hard work of listening.
