More Please
Waking from dreams of tidal peace
Swirling on gritty sands
Happy to know that wars increase
for freer farther lands
Freedom costs so much to get
and often more to keep
As takers take the price is met
We strain in bonds of greed
One short taste of sweet free joy
Will fester till it bursts
Finds a way, a simple ploy
To get to good from worst
Sometimes it's hard to waken
From dreams that feel like these
Hours through a working day
They never ever cease
And yet at colored sunsets
We sit in awe and hope
That people work together
To conquer greed and cope
