An Enterprise Or 'Enter Peace'

Keeping the heart on our palm
We race a rat-race;
A race of the human race 
To build a civilization, modest enough to crunch
At a simple knock.

It's our empire, our politics;
Our mammoth self of self-respect
And headlong pride of centuries old legacy. 

What an enterprise! 

Between the lion and the mouse
We try relentlessly to sign 
A partnership deed,
A memoir of understanding.

I have a cause
Because I dream of a 'connect',
Where East, does not breath gunpowder,
And the West
Does not supply weapon
