A Short Prayer Against War

Smiling child holding a globe, standing outside with friends on a sunny day.
May all be fed and free,
may all be safe and seen.
May the bombs not fall
on hospital or school,
home or market,
or anywhere on this earth.
 
May hate subside and love increase.
May our broken hearts and bodies
and our wounded souls and spirits
find healing and repair.
 
May the power of the many
outweigh the hubris of the few
and for our sake
and the sake of our ancestors
and our children
may all war cease.
