If You Want Peace

If You Want Peace

Speak your thoughts aloud over the crowd and not have to worry about what is going to happen to your child.

Say a prayer down on your knees in the middle of the street and not have to worry about a guillotine dropping at your feet.

Bare arms on a crooked thief and not have to worry about a general’s barrel going through your teeth.

Get in your car and drive to any joint without having to worry about going through a check point.

Work for a living and enjoy your achievements without having to worry about the government garnishing your wages.

Go to the store and buy too much food to eat without having to worry if you’ll ever find any meat.

While other countries eat hay you throw away more food than they could ever imagine existed in one day.

Turn on your television and have three hundred channels to view while other countries say here are two I’m in control of you.

If you want to keep this peace prepare for war or this country will soon be an old battle scar.

Remember peace does not come without a price.
