Perhaps You'll Find More Luck With the Others
Peace?
There is only one peace I will defend.
And that is the peace between my ears.
When it arrived and I identified with it...
And it took a while for my suspicions to leave?
I had not until then...
Experienced a life without spotlighting my agonies.
Peace?
There is only one peace I will defend.
And that is the peace between my ears.
Nor do I have a need to have it cheapened,
By a marketing campaign...
You've come to solicit with promises to set me free.
I've already got it.
'Free-of-being-dumb'.
Perhaps you'll find more luck with the others.
They are the ones praying for it on their knees!
With the hope that the peace you tease will come.
