There is Talk

There is talk
of babies born
Where mothers want them
Fathers care

There is talk
of believing in us
fighting for human
race not against

There have been tales
of dying living
loved ones stay passed
earths visiting hours

Ideas about
forests in Spring
Mother Nature nurtured
blossoming flowers

There has been talk
of loving us all
black and white between
Muslim and Jew

A chance to eat
to live, to become
A chance to love
There are so very few

Where battle stands still
weapons are gone
animals free
violence be shattered

To love someone else
to recognize
Woman or Man
that does not matter

There is talking and talking
so very much word
continue to speak
there are lives to be saved

Now take the next step
acknowledge the silent
we’ve done so much talking
yet nothing has changed.
