peace
such a beautiful concept
why is it so elusive
world peace
inner peace
so fucking hard to find
I greet each day with a smile
and a positive outlook
that this will be my day
then the ambush begins
I mount a defensive
as best I can
but soon casualties are taken
at the end of the day
my happiness has been
dragged thru the streets
then dangles from some bridge
twisting in the breeze
as a crowd made up of
self doubt
loneliness
lost love
cheers and beats me with their shoes
there will be no inquiries
held on cnn as to why
the destruction of my spirit
was allowed to transpire
no debates
on if enough was done
to stop this massacre
or what can be done
to prevent further attacks
nope... none of this will happen
so.........
I put the charred remains
of my soul to rest
tomorrow I'll be reborn
and hope for a better fucking day
