On My Soapbox
Though my eyes are sleepy and it's very late
There's always one more thought to convey
Of love and peace and harmony in the world
A wish for world peace every day
Of love and friendship from country to country
A world without territorial obsession
Each and every human is a product of evolution
Ridiculous we've never learned that lesson
I'm not the first and I surely won't be the last
To express this frustration with things
A product of untold years of confrontation
And the terrible consequences it brings
My soap box is getting so battered and worn
I'll keep trying though from where I stand
To do what I can though it's small in nature
To get everybody to walk hand in hand
A bigger stage would certainly be welcome
That's highly unlikely in this state
It seems so simple but so utterly complex
Someone must step up to the plate
