Losing It

after Yehuda Amichai

 

If we think we are right

the sun may never set;

 

if we know we are right

then beasts could take our place;

 

if we say we are right

the towers will always fall;

 

and if, after all

after all we've

thought, known, said

and done

we're wrong -

 

who will stop us

when the time to make peace

has come?
