If We Try... Poem by Richard Jarboe

We can will it, if we try,
Fill it, if we try,
Chill it, if we try,
Or still it, if we try.

We can mix it, if we try,
Or fix it, if we try,
Or save, it if we try,
To be brave, if we try.

Don't say it can't be done,
Preparation is #1,
All things are possible under the sun.

We can stop it, if we try,
Adopt it, if we try,
Hop it, if we try,
Or pop it, if we try.

Why should we repeat the war?
There ain't no rich if there ain't no poor,
Nothing left worth fighting for.

We can reverse it, if we try,
Converse it, if we try,
Elevate, if we try,
It's never too late, if we try.
