by HELEN STEINER RICE
IN THIS SICK WORLD OF HATRED
AND VIOLENCE AND SIN,
WHERE MEN RENOUNCE MORALS
AND REJECT DISCIPLINE,
WE STUMBLE IN "DARKNESS"
GROPING VAINLY FOR "LIGHT"
TO DISTINGUISH THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN WRONG AND RIGHT,
BUT DAWN CANNOT FOLLOW
THIS NIGHT OF DESPAIR
UNLESS FAITH LIGHTS A CANDLE
IN ALL HEARTS EVERYWHERE
AND WARMED BY THE GLOW
OUR HATE MELTS AWAY
AND LOVE LIGHTS THE PATH
TO A PEACEFUL, NEW DAY.
