Da Pacem Domine Poem by Chris Noir

Although I am not a man of faith,
I find myself in need of hope,
Of hope that it's not yet late,
To get off this sliding slope.

Although I'm not a man of honor,
I find the need to become brave,
Brave enough to face the horror,
Of the Man so dreadfully behaved.

Although I am but an ape,
It's a fact, Apes we all are,
I struggle to regain the faith,
In human kind so deeply scared.

Although I am a selfish man,
I hear the call to give, to share,
So I pray, (without response) ,
To any god that may be out there:


Please give me wisdom to stop the war,
Please give me strength to knock down walls,
Please give me reason to kill the faith,
Please give US peace until it's too late.

Da pacem Domine, in diebus tenebris,
Da pacem Domine et Ora pro nobis!
