In a Moment’s Time (for Philip Berrigan)
The presses might have stopped in their tracks Television might have shut down in mid-commercial The Internet might have gone off line–and The War might never have begun– If only for one moment of praise.
But none of this happened–
While those of us who know And those of you who knew Silently mourn the passing Of an impeccable hero.
