Let Me Be
Let me live in my silence,
undisturbed by the predicaments
created by the outside world.
Let me live in the inner quiet
as it permeates and cleanses my soul
of the heartache and sadness
that erase all joy.
Let the lesson of history so harsh
often unlearned by humankind's need
die in the rise of greed and power.
Let common sense grow strong
tower above the rhetoric that unfolds
with learned youth and age
grasping its realities ignored.
