There Is No Peace
Many proclaim they only want peace;
but peace can never be found;
what they really want is to appease;
it has a more calming sound.
Our lives are governed by many illusions;
we trust that most have goodwill;
truth has history to prove its conclusions;
evil men, still seek only to kill.
Pride is the evil one; seeking control;
his tyranny shall never be finished;
evil rides roughshod over each soul;
until all the meek are diminished.
Evil and Good are opposing forces;
one shall win; the other; must lose;
there are no winners in life’s divorces;
ultimately; all must choose.
The war we must fight; isn’t political;
all must learn to love; not kill;
this battle, of hate, is not even physical;
it’s a battle of the heart and will.
Earth is a realm in the lower kingdom;
where prodigals chose to dwell;
evil seeks to destroy faith and freedom;
in this lower kingdom of hell.
Many proclaim they only seek peace;
though filled with hate and pride;
only, in death, shall all gain release;
it’s only the evil that died.
