PEACE

Silence soothes the spell of sleep,
allows the mind to slumber,
which deafens the ears
to the sobs and screams,
sounds of bullets
and cries for victims.

Hearing the voice within
rise as trumpet to blow a warning
where no one wants to know
the world around them is falling apart
because they own all the hammers,
only makes enemies out of abusers
who treat critics as criminals.

But they aren’t the ones
that are the most likely to rage
against the song you blow,
it is the ones who are your neighbors,
so busy pretending peace is muted realty,
ignorance the perfect music.

They will arise as an assassin
to what reminds they are surrounded by wrong
because it is easier
than trying to end the melodies of tyranny
