This too shall pass.


“We want peace!”
Shouted the blind men and women.
we want this,
that,
the oil rigs and your souls.
We want blood and vengeance
we want rape,
murder.

“We want peace!”
We whisper under a thousand armored chests.
Our hearts dont beat for red white and blue.
They beat for the blood of the fallen,
the blood of the standing.

"We want peace."
They stutter stumbling blindly,
from eye for an eye.

“We want peace!”
We scream under falling rounds and machine gun blasts.
Don’t you see?
“We want peace.”
