| Extra Information | I originally wrote this for voice and piano but in 1989 I arranged it by adding English Horn and Vibraphone. Don West wrote this poem in 1964. Apparantely even back then there were war protests. I had also been a war protester. But now I know that humans don't really have dignity without Christ. This is the second of two pieces I wrote using his poetry. |
