Doubtful Propaganda

Roy Remy

There are some things that I must mention,
My heart desires this truthful intention.
On those that quest for good in bad
And ever to right those paths of sad.

Winds whistle motions thought,
Your opinion is already bought.
Roads ahead with danger fraught,
Anger rages lands value naught!

I have a damn good reason to scream,
But I am alone it would seem.
Is it wrong to imagine Peace?
Is it not time to turn over the leaf?

Why can we not see,
That war is wrong,
That there is a mystic melody,
Another, forgotten song?
There has to be
Another way,
To satiate unrest,
I say!

We cannot afford to wage our worries,
To stay our riches with deep, deep quarries
On those abroad,
This is the time
For Peace I hope.
There will be a sign.

And damned be those who plot and curse
For fear of losing their content purse,
For my heart will forever Peace seek,
And my mouth to open ears will speak.

Imprison me for my words!
Perhaps I need a reason to verse.
A more than truly betrayed trust,
Those of lessons, a betrayed must.
