No More, More: A Short Plea
Lord, may there be
no more bloodshed
no more war
no more hatred
no more evil
no more nation against nation
no more neighbor against neighbor
no more swords
no more weapons
no more violence
no more fighting
no more killing
no more murder
no more strife
no more division
no more rage
no more provoking
no more screaming
no more hitting
no more suffering.
Lord, may there be
more faith
more hope
more love
more life
more joy
more peace
more patience
more kindness
more gentleness
more self-control
more truth
more nobility
more righteousness
more purity
more excellence
more admiration
more praise
more trust
more allegiance to you.
Amen.
