"totakearmsagainstaseaoftroublesandbyopposingendthem"

if peace is our wish/our reality is violence
from domestic abuse to random shootings by lone wolf gunmen
suicide bombings,attempted hijackings,piracy and endless wars
we need to examine this conundrum-we are part of an invasion.
alien life forms violating prairies feng shui/building geometric shapes
that pollute the very air,water and earth we live with,
because and on
Soon we will only see a sunset if it is on television
and our digital children will have only virtual reality-
clones,replicants,androids and robots.Thye may ask
"what is peace?"-ancient elders creak towards cliches
but a wish is not an action,and war admits no prisoners
Perhaps it is time to update our cliches-
when even walking down streets attracts violence
Random insurgents claim revolutionary fervor
yet we have seen the stupidity of shoe bombers and underwear terrorists
There is no rationalization for harming others
We need to withdraw from all war zones/come home
meditate upon personal responsibility and collective foolishness
and creatively (harmlessly)finally play the peace fool with each other
