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
