I wish to speak the truth gently...

I wish to speak true
I wish to speak gentle


What I wish for me
I wish for you


I wish to remember
my lack of omniscience.


I wish to live
in peace and humility.


I wish not to control.
I wish to influence.


What I wish for me
I wish for you.


Let us pray for peace.
Let us live with respect for others.


The demonization is polarizing.
The demonization is the path to war.


We are not at war.
Let us refrain from demonization.


Even though 
we could get boffo ratings.


Let us live in peace.
Let us speak gently.


Amen
