The Peacemaker

The Peacemaker 9/5/2012

I could say anything
But that doesn’t make it true
And what I have lived makes no difference
If I never learned
How to love.

Its not about struggle
Because all of us try and fail
But rather it’s the motive
And the reason.

In this world there is hatred
The kind that you can feel
Burning from the eyes
And consuming the soul.

It comes from resentment
And it comes from blame
As we curse others
For all that we see.

But the difference is not blame
And it is not guilt
But rather it is our actions
Or inaction.

You can smooth out the path
And you can bury the truth
But you can always tell an imposter
From the look on his face.

Soon the mask will fall off
And soon he shall spend his fury
Laughing while Rome burns
And the armies march.

The air is thick with anticipation
As the days painfully pass
While we struggle harder and harder
To hold up the world.

There is something coming
A slow and creeping horror
As ancient meanings surface
About who and what we are.

A window has opened on history
But only for a time
As nations rise against nations
To plunder, murder and steal.

Say your payers
And pay attention
Because blood is in the water
And the writing is on the wall.
