Another Side of the Story

from the depths 
of the ocean
   to the mountains of
the moon
   you can see what
you want to see, learn what you will
   but maybe - just maybe
you'll 
      alight on a 
branch
     join the birds in 
        song
Unreal thought!
Unreality
     has become the 
order of the day
     while senseless legions 
march
      the air is full
of the sounds of gunpowder
As the fire dies
   become what 
you always
          desired to be
         leave the 
battle to others
     eyes peer out 
in the shadows
      hope rises with the wind
let us view peaceful 
    green fields below
fly with those birds
    as down below 
a magical truce is 
reached
       To be enshrined 
      Forever
    in the hearts of men
