Invent a Peace Never Imagined
When everything seems too dark
to live your day through doubts that linger,
invent a peace never imagined...
something you have dreamed of doing!
Calm waters never anticipate storms,
troubled waters do and shake your ark,
all the passion you put into it will be showing;
and whenever dangers are found:
your confidence will make you stronger!
Try to live in peace through chaotic times,
seek out a remote place and meditate,
get rid of all negative feelings
and prevent a possible loss;
you can find comfort in prayers,
you can find comfort in songs...
they will change your image!
When everything turns upside down,
don't be discouraged, thrive off!
Who hates, kills, and destroys scoffs
at compassion and inflicting pain he gains
that false pride of invincibility
that'll bring him down to his knees:
he'll realize the hurt he has caused others...
shouldn't he be punished for his cruelty?
Mankind will repeat the same mistakes,
regardless of the bloodshed on battlefields,
regardless of the cries, we hear daily;
a merciless leader will incite warriors to fight
for a cause, they believe seems right...
is it their solemn oath or unbreakable loyalty?
There have been moments if calmness
and being brief they don't promise stability;
unexpectedly, a tyrant will resurge and tear down
all that was built and with his slyness will deceive many
promising to bring relief only to aggravate tempers,
and amid suppression can one invent a peace never imagined?
The one elected will seize power and will govern for gain...
until his foolishness is such an excessive weight to be carried on
his shoulders: he'll lack the wisdom to finish what he promised!
