Do You Know? Poem by soren Barrett

How much anger will buy an ounce of love
How many vultures to redeem the life of a dove
How many sunbeams to pay for a drop of rain
How much forgiveness to quench the thirst of pain

Where on a sphere begin the bends
Where amongst thorns have you hidden your friends
Where did you hide the tongue of your inner voice
Where in birth and death is there a choice

When will we learn to save a drowning fly
When not to let the last ember die
When will we have enough to give to the poor
When will peace be worth more than gold, to end war
