'We Can Turn It All Around' Poem by Linda Winchell

Peace is not the lack of war
Love is not the lack of hate.
But we can turn it all around.

Months are not the lack of years
hours not the lack time.
But we can turn it all around.

Gravity is not the lack of pull
nor is man the lack of earth.
But we can turn it all around.

Wind is not the lack of air
clouds not their lack of rain.
But we can turn it all around.

Life is not the lack of death
Birth not the lack of life.
But we can turn it all around
