The following poem was composed by Kim Stafford, former Oregon Poet Laureate (2018-2020). Kim recently published the book A Proclamation for Peace Translated into World Languages (2024; see https://www.opb.org/article/2024/09/01/kim-stafford-a-proclamation-for-peace/). Here is the poem:
A Proclamation for Peace
- Whereas the world is a house on fire;
Whereas the nations are filled with shouting;
Whereas hope seems small, sometimes- a single bird on a wire
- left by migration behind.
- Whereas kindness is seldom in the news
- and peace an abstraction
- while war is real;
- Whereas words are all I have;
- Whereas my life is short;
- Whereas I am afraid;
- Whereas I am free — despite all
- fire and anger and fear;
- Be it therefore resolved a song
- shall be my calling — a song
- not yet made shall be vocation
- and peaceful words the work
- of my remaining days.

Hey there this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if
you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have
no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from
someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
