"Quakers on Pacifism"

It is not "P. C." to be anti-war,

Or to refuse to stuff one’s face with meat.

Quakers are not pacifists any more



By definition. It’s not like before.

These things are individual. We can cheat.

It is not "P. C." to be anti-war.



We cannot break an invisible law.

We rubbed it out, you see. I should repeat:

Quakers are not pacifists any more.



Some are. Some aren’t. There’s nothing we stand for.

We can have bacon, toast or Shredded Wheat.

It is not "P. C." to be anti-war –



To be vegetarian, vegan or

In any way, restrict what one may eat.

Quakers are not pacifists any more.



This, Friends, is the conclusion we must draw –

Won’t vote on this; we might just face defeat:

It is not "P. C." to be anti-war.

Quakers are not pacifists any more.
