Keep Walking

[Brian mclaughlin]

The heart of the peacemaker
it'll will never be heard
there is no profit in peace
the greed of the hawks is far too great
they will never let loose of their cash-cow
so why do we continue to speak
why do we write poems for peace
when we know we preaching to the chior
if it weren't for our own sanity
I fear we would give up altogether
our words would dissappear
there would be no-one left saying
“there's a better way than war”
but a heart grown cold
it would only helpo to feed the evil
maybe if we could change one mind
one heart
turn one away from spoils of war
it would be a step
I guess that's why we keep walking

we can't give up on peace....the word, the notion of peace at times sounds over-used...but what we are really talking about is ending senseless death.....the killing of innocents, killing and maiming our own....as we pursue real.....and imagined enemies...it's bogus
