Hate Deserves Nothing - Poem (Written after the Death of Daniel Pearl, From "Four Folded Corners")

Hate deserves nothing --
no headline
no broadcast

Not the ink to print a word,
or less, a point,

Not the breath it takes to utter
the smallest note,

Let it die quietly

Leaving
no epitaph
no echo
no seed.
