Losing It
after Yehuda Amichai
If we think we are right
the sun may never set;
if we know we are right
then beasts could take our place;
if we say we are right
the towers will always fall;
and if, after all
after all we’ve
thought, known, said
and done
we’re wrong –
who will stop us
when the time to make peace
has come?
