Repent mere mortals for a
second chance never did come

  14. Hank, your "comments" on Sara's poem couple well with your comments on my peace poem. Salvation while there is war? No way. It's up to all of us.

    This is a combination of two poets, both capable of grace and insight. Thanks so much, Hank. Peace, Amelita
