Sonnet 13 We Know Poem by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares

We know that a small part of the money
The world uses for its wars without aim
Could be used to bathe with milk and honey
Humanoid ghosts that walk on a bones frame.

We know that a little understanding 5
For those who need the church to follow God
Would yield room to those already standing
On these rich lands today covered with blood. 8

We know that without so much selfishness
Or wealthy people each day more alone
There would be more blooming of happiness
And their face would glow with an angel's tone.

If we know for sure that something is wrong
Let us retreat some steps and fare along.
