A Little Peace

The bond between man and beast runs deep
a markers mark we both do keep
the rising sun
a dreary rain
an inability of remaining sane

for I am the beast and the beast is I
alone in a world that heeds no cry
put on down for what perceived
choked constraints I cannot breathe

offers of hope go to waste
in a beauty they call the human race

slow down
the past can't run
sit in the sand
soak up some sun

blinding as it may all seem
this outer shell isn't me
a heart
a mind
a soul that sings
for all I crave are the simple things

throw down your weapons
and tighten your lips
there's peace in the silence
come take a nip
