In a beautiful but harrowing poem entitled “How to Create an Enemy,” Sam Keen, an American philosopher and educator,

reminds us of the brutality of war:

“When your icon of the enemy is complete

you will be able to kill without guilt,

slaughter without shame.”-How to Create an Enemy

Truth in every word, I must say - Dehumanizing and humiliating others is a very dangerous game.

It is like a boomerang, which is designed to return to the thrower, lest we forget!

…’that once you can’t love another human being

you have no place in the world.’-Mirror Image - Louise Glück

The Time is Now, as the Irish poet, Seamus Heaney, has reminded us, to “make hope and history rhyme”.

Mr. President, empowered by your faith and example of your life journey, you have been given a mandate to battle for the common good

To heal the wounded and divided America and build a better world

Only humility, seeking forgiveness and repentance will end America’s permanent wars

These are the values to unleash Revival, Healing and Transformation
