A Tunnel to Everywhere
by Camillo Mac Bica
Let us drill a tunnel to Afghanistan, Iraq,
and all the other places in the world
where our sons and daughters are in peril
and bring them home to safety,
one by one,
as the world watches and rejoices.
Let us drill a tunnel to everywhere
that children are in peril
and relieve their pain and suffering,
one by one,
as the world watches and rejoices.
Let us come together in mutual support and love,
acknowledge the sanctity of all that lives,
and realize that god is but the relation
of one consciousness to another.
And the world will watch in awe and wonder,
hold its collective breathe in excitement and anticipation,
and realize at last the insanity and futility
of violence and war.
And together we will rejoice
in the tranquility and peace
that has eluded us for so long,
and celebrate the triumph of reason
and the community of humankind.
