Island of Peace

An island of peace in the madness of life. Is this really too much of a dream,

can we not live without fear, where politicians are honest and fair,

is it too much not to worry about Putin and Romney, or the ways of the Israelis,

peace will never be, when we live so near to fear, controlled by governments,

who threaten to take away our health care, or is peace just a lie,

to keep us from sticking our fingers into the political pie, to see through them,

to understand them, we live in fear, so that we will not stare, or wonder why,

we cannot live in peace, the wars and the deaths the price of democracy.

An island of peace in the madness of life. That is what i want, just for a minute,

just to see what it would be, to live in peace and not under political anarchy,

it would be nice to see that politicians were looking after me, but it is not to be,

peace i do not for see, i shed a tear for Palestine, i pray for peace for them,

as the Israeli gunman shoots another bomber to be, Let them be free,

show them the island of peace in the madness of life, for it would be treasured,

and kept as a keepsake, for war and peace are never to meet, as long as we have

all this constraint to an island of peace in the madness of life.
