I have seen what war has done
the vision entered through my eyes
touched my heart
I felt pain for those who were maimed
and killed
I have heard the words of hatred
they entered cruelly into my being
burning my ears as they passed through
I felt sorry for the ignorance
I failed to stand up
to put an end to the harassment
of another
how low this made me feel
All that I had seen, heard and done
made me stop and think
Who was I becoming
Each person I met
was shaping me
steering me along
along my life's path
I was a product of my past
it made me who I was
there was no way
I could change that past
But learning from it
I could affect my future
