Unobtainable Peace
Whilst landward We strive for the unobtainable peace
On the oceans reigns the universal cannibalism of the sea
Quite like the quest by Captain Ahab for Moby Dick seemed fancifully lofty
so are the images of the killing of Libya,s Colonel Khadafy
be wary of overzealous military in pursuit of hegemony
"I,d strike the sun if it insulted me" is not a coherent Foreign Policy
We have survived fascism, the Holocaust, the threat of nuclear annihilation and terrorism with moral distinction
The more we foster hate
traipse foreign plains with a cowboys gait
the faster it will lead to our extinction
