Still thy rising voice the angry vicious word of hate <br /> That seal the innocent victims fate <br /> Still thy hand of violence against thy neighbors head <br /> That fills an innocent heart with fearfull dread <br /> Still the raging river of wars bloodshed <br /> Still all the senseless slaughter of the myriads of war dead <br /> Rather rise thy eager voice <br /> For blessed Peace rejoice <br /> Set thy strong hand <br /> To plowshare to scatter the seed of Peace in every land <br /> Let Peace flow as a crystal clear river from shore to shore <br /> Forever more, forevermore<br /><br />Billie Jeanne James<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/still-the-raging-river/
