Promote Peace!
For over five years, Cathedral City, California, a City of Peace, has promoted peace on billboards. Thanks to Liaison Bob McKetchnie, to whom we dedicate this poem by poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who was born 1850 in Johnston Center, Wisconsin:
“Until the manacled slim wrists of babes
Are loosed to toss in childish sport and glee,
Until the mother bears no burden, save
The precious one beneath her heart, until
God’s soil is rescued from the clutch of greed
And given back to labor, let no man
Call this the land of freedom.”
