Ataraxis

Beset it seems on every side Invasions perturbations in our lives By order or by decree Or by slight of propaganda These troublesome entries are constantly knocking And the no escape from it comes a mongering Some demand made of sanity A madness to strain our credulity Were you sitting there quite comfortably Contemplating silence's captivity Captivated yourself by its rest But every morning to hit the ground running Crisis disasters of disasters crisis This daily threat of sunrise Pours its sleepless night into our eyes Not a moment left for peace of mind Confusions deception On mass the fear filled information We swim through the murk of this menacing cauldron Afraid for ourselves alarmed for our children These unknown shadows lurk behind Our every effort to gain a little peace No space for peace No peace of mind No chance to live in peaceful lives Ever the next agenda turns a new blind alley corner Always the next bill demands its paying Forever the following threat to dog your already crooked steps Still somewhere in the world injustice is reigning And we know people like us are suffering and dying We feel the tragedy So abhorrent the degredation can only be Leaves its anguish in our souls We have no other story Only dreams and hopes of a life Lived in the peace we seek And how much happier we all could be If the snarling hounds of a deviant ideology Hadn't stolen every second of ataraxis
