You were little miss Quaker pacifist
Saying "As a quaker I am a conscientious objector.
All true Quakers are pacifists.
All true Quakers are against the American War Machine,
all those evil corporations making money off of war.
We, Quakers refused to go to war
throughout history
But we did contribute to the rebuilding of Germany
and Europe in general after World War 2.
I remember going with you to a fellow Quakers
house and discussing with them
peaceful means to heal the world
embracing all human beings as equals
who deserve all the things
we Americans take for granted.
And now every week I feel your presence
Cheering me on
As I hold my peace sign
declaring to the world and all those cars
full of people passing by
that I am an America citizen
opposed to war and war profiteering
corporations like Dick Cheeny's Haliburtan
I feel the essence of your soul there
every Saturday morning
cheering me and my compatriots on
as we speak out and try to radiate peace
in a nation divided by a needless war
You'd be there to
with your loving aura
