It is time to turn the implements of war
into instruments of peace,
ploughshares
to till the souls of men
and bring forth a harvest
of lasting social change.

and bring forth a harvest
of lasting social change.
Time to till the soil,
plant forests, repair streams,
lower emissions,
heal Mother Earth
in all the places she is aching.
Time to remember
we are only one species
among all the many other beings
that share this earth with us.

Mother Earth has enough
for our need,
but not our greed.

We are all weary of war, of division, of greed, of unsustainable living and the extractive capitalism that is devastating the planet. Time for social change and hard decisions about how to live on this earth as just one of earth's many creatures.
