Signs caught my eye
so much a part of the message
Along with the feet marching,
were the signs, “End War”,
“Make Levees, not War”,
“Blessed are the Peacemakers”,
“Peace begins with Peace”,
“Veterans for Peace”,
“War Just Makes It Worse,” or
“Is the World Safer Now?”
Many of them made me think,
and wonder how much the
rest of the country
thinks long and hard about
the wisdom in the war strategy
The Peace March on September 30, 2006 in Concord, NH
sponsored by NH Peace Action. About 25 of the parishioners of
Wesley United Methodist Church participated. See the Concord Monitor article – http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061001/REPOSITORY/610010399
