Peace Shall Reign

In the absence of our minds,
Yes within us,
Lies a soul,
And deep in its slumber,
We live to blunder,
As the competition never 
ends,Each day we fight for our 
desires,
Yet in the absence of our 
minds,Soul rests peacefully,
It has such a power,
To bear forever,
Till there is no more an ever,
We live to indulge,
We live to conquer,
As the mental sanity lasts,
We commit all insanity,
As we never fear one another,
As we always wish to be 
superior,
That is the rise of our terror,
Though we are all the same,
Nobody feels the need to give a 
damn,
From the glories of war,
To the gold  bars in the markets,
From the destruction of a 
nation,
To the genocide of a 
population,And even so in the 
absence of our minds,
The soul rests 
peacefully,Waiting for the day,
When it awakes,
And leaves us to our own peril...
And even so hope shall remain,
That even in the absence of our 
minds,
Peace shall reign!
