In Her Book Start With Hello , Shannan Martin reminds readers that we can’t Tyrannize our way to Harmony, that thought inspired this poem…
We can’t fight
Our way to Harmony.
We can’t hope
That hateful
Words and weapon
Will fix that which
Is broken.
We can’t throw out
Ugliness
And expect
Beauty
To shine forth.
We can’t shatter
Hearts
Expecting to
Make them whole
Break a child’s
Spirit
And expect
Them to grow.
We can’t bury
Pain
And expect
Not to
Explode.
We can’t Fight
Our way to Harmony
And expect that
Pain won’t grow.
