On the Edge of a Knife
The blade will sting you
if you are not careful
A taste for blood
runs in the veins of too many
people to be ignored
We all are facing
the edge of a sharp knife
Sharpened steel still terrifies
Do you not care for peace?
Then face reality
The hatred which flows in so many people's brains
Endangers us
We must seek shelter
If you watch the dance from a distance
Then you may take your safety for granted
There are those out there who feel
contempt for those they cannot understand
Peace will come to you
if you are ready
and take precautions
when they are neccessary
