Peace Is A Demanding Goddess. Poem by RIC BASTASA

Peace Is A Demanding Goddess.



now she does not
require white doves
or sheep
or even a cow
which you have to
slaughter before
her majesty

she requires
even betrayal
an ambush
a ruse, a brutal killing,
include the children
and the women
and even the unborn

you will see all these
terror and horror
of those hours

and that will be the test
if you really
wanted peace.
