"PEACE PLEASE"

I wrote this poem after watching the news across the globe. I needed to express my thoughts through words and a song.

I look at the news.

I look at confusion

of realities

of the blues of the news.

People hate, throw slurs

of their blurs

of society

of woes

of lies

of mass proportions of gossip

of terror

of wars

of the dark side of humanity,

as I get my bow and arrow

ready.

But wait it is not violence I want

to tie

into their hate

and debate

of pride and the other sides

of point of view.

This is my cue

to spread love

peace

and

freedom beyond borders of

fences and hate

to spread love and peace not hate.

So, I write about the thoughts of my brain

trying to keep sane,

knowing that life is what it is

and what it was,

cause

I love freedom.

I love democracy of choices.

The price of freedom is

bombs or mob bosses.

But of me and you and all

as I recall

to live and let live.

I turn off the news

of the blues

of war

of hate

and the bait.

Tonight is out of sight.

Let's rock tonight.

I look at the verse.

What could be worse

than not to belong

to a hate group of sorts?

Actually, believing one is superior to two.

So, we leave it to the courts

of petty lies of despair

from the criminals of time and space.

Do I care?

I choose love and peace

to humanity of a sort of all

people.

We lease

the earth.

For what it's worth.

We are all unique souls

of life, birth, and death

around the globe

of this earth

For what it's worth

of humanity

of the light,

not the dark

in the night.

We bring the light.

Let's love,

hug

and not tug

on each others' souls

of old.

Peace, love, and light.
