Perhaps I will be
Arrested for writing this.
The President could
Put on a grand show.
Maybe I could take the blame
For peace-loving death?
It should be easy.
There are killings every day.
Just pin one on me.

Intro 8: This was the Moment
The moment that I knew
That I spoke of long ago
Was in the summer.
In a stadium,
For the first time I heard it
We pledged allegiance
Many times I’d heard
Many times I’d said the words
This time, I listened.
Intro 7: A Name for a God
The name of this god
is known to all by his deeds;
though few dare name him.
Intro 6: At Any Cost
Peace at any cost?
When you pay with a blank check
the price is too high.
Your blank check never seems
to buy you very much.
Best you shop around.
Intro 5: 9-11-2001
To all those who died,
Or who lost the ones they love:
I dedicate this.
To those left behind:
I wish it could be more than
A few empty words.
Intro 4: They who Know
To all those who know:
I recall when first I knew.
It awed and shamed me.
Intro 3: To November
“We sleep soundly in
our beds because rough men stand
ready in the night
“to visit vio-
-lence on those who would do us
harm.” – Winston Churchill
