Show Of Our Making By Christie Lund Coles "Utah's Sarah Teasdale. "-Harrison R. Merrill. . Say that we lost in the battle we fought, Say that we failed but we did not rot In a world full of filth of our own making Classes and creeds and money-taking, Sin and sorrow and war's dark killing, Kidnappings, poverty. We were not willing To die until we had written aline Out of our heart's blood yours and mine, Decrying the wrongs, urging the day Of the common good and the. better way. We know what man's injustice has cost, We have not accepted it We are not lost To the suffering of our hungry brothers, We must awaken pity in these others. We must tell them the world is of our making! It is time the God in us was awaking And building a world less cruelly heart-breaking, A better world that must be OF OUR MAKING! |
