Still We Sing

They bombed the school,
but not the song.
They cut the light,
but it won’t stay gone.

A mother hums
what justice knows—
That even under ash,
a garden grows.

“Travel is one of the best anti-war weapons that there are. I’ve been to Iran, and if you’re there you see little kids, cops, old people, cemeteries. Once you see that, you can’t say, ‘Oh, Iran, let’s bomb them.’” Viggo Mortensen

There is a law in each well-ordered nation
To curb those raging appetites that are
Most disobedient and refractory.

William Shakespeare
