I am a resident of Santa Barbara. I have written the enclosed poem and e-mailed it to the White House reflecting my own personal reaction to the violence that has followed the signing of the new Health Care Reform Bill.
It’s time to love
Amid the threats
.
It’s time to love
Amid the violence
It’s time to love
Amid the broken windows
It’s time to love
Amid the din
It’s time to love
Amid the pain
It’s time to love
It’s time to love
—Ibrahim Ibn Salma
