Grant us peace, <br />that we may not oppress our neighbors <br />Grant us justice, <br />that we may not enslave our neighbors <br />Grant us sanity, <br />that we may not torture our neighbors <br />Grant us mercy, <br />that we may not murder our neighbors <br />Grant us conscience <br />that we may not expel our neighbors <br /> <br />Grant us love, <br />that we may hunger for truth <br />Grant us discernment <br />that we may know what is ours, and what is not <br />Grant us decency <br />that we may return what we stole <br />Grant us courage <br />that we may admit what we’ve done <br />Give us strength to atone. <br /> <br />Ask only <br />that we end our silence.<br /><br />Bob Green<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grant-us-peace-father-of-abraham-isaac-and-ishma/
