What One Can Do

What One Can Do

Just say NO...

Just say NO
NO to peace- no to hope-
no to progress

no to possibility

no to the hard work
the good intentions
and careful research
of those willing to work

nothing changes

except
you just said no
to peace...

no to hope
no to progress

no to restraint-

calmly cast your ballot
electing scorn

and another round
of escalating terror

ad infinitum
