A SONG OF BRIDGES, by                    
First Line: Bridges of hatred
Last Line: From earth to space.
Subject(s): Bridges; Hate


Bridges of hatred,
Bridges of greed --
When did they serve a human need?
Bridges of menace,
Bridges of war --
Tear them all down, and build no more!

But still remain
Some gulfs to span;
They're wide -- but can be bridged by Man.
A noble bridge, then, let us start
From land to land
And heart to heart.

And firmly on this bridge will stand
True Friendship stretching from his hand
To all the mighty human race
Who'll build a bridge
From Earth to Space.
