Finding Peace

 Finding Peace

 

I read the articles of confederation

And the Bible all about salvation

But words on paper failed my cause

For man is not bound by laws

The generals gave me quite an alarm

His job was causing others harm

I refused even to give a simple salute

I’ve rejected the entire institute

At every juncture I took a turn

Lies and deceit lessons to learn

Meeker and weaker from my tries

I began to peel away at the disguise

The monster underneath grew clearer

In horror I discovered a mirror

‘Peace on Earth’ such a lofty goal

And I a child with a bitter soul

So I surrendered my frown for a smile

I escaped from the demon of denial

I said peace isn’t something you find

Peace is really a state of mind

There is only one way to start

And that is to put love in your heart

So I set off in Mother Earth with seeds to sow

To everyone I gave a friendly ‘hello’

Listen to this truth I say

Small things they go a long way

I dream of the bombs becoming obsolete

I dream of a world without victory of defeat

But the mountain of hatred is far too immense

And the insanity never made any sense

So I changed those things that I could

To everyone and all I did good

Then and there I had my release

This is my lesson in finding peace 

POLISHED FRAGMENTS
