In another world I would
Like I should
Leave my inner space
And built my case
Of being the best
Defeating all the rest
What others may think
About pushing things to the brink
Either sail or sink
Disease it is
Defined as competitive show biz
Then from another land
Where cooling was a fan
Whispering commentating on what I said
And conclude maybe I should end up dead
Too much travelling
Reality unravelling
Time to show respect
And check
What really was out there
A friendship affair
Or monster causing a scare
I gestured a handshake
Hoping they will accept and take
My message of peace
Burying the war idea along with the deceased
