Give Peace A Chance

it appears that things, aren't always as they seem
when viewed by those, who are on the extreme
personally, i much prefer, to be sat in the middle
so i can view both, Rome burn, and Nero on the fiddle
be it religion, or politics, or other things that make little sense
i find it much easier to see both sides, when sat on the fence
but for the comfort, of my derriere
i do wish instead, that i'd sat on a chair
having been a watcher of things, for many years
the amount of animosity, sometimes leaves me in tears
especially those things, that aren't as pleasant as they seem
have buried my hopes, of a Utopean dream
i have no issue, if you're black, white, purple, or grey
straight, lesbian, pan, bi, or gay
just love all things living, no matter how diverse
we are probably unique, in the entirety of this universe
the beauty of our nature, could put us all at ease
the only thing missing, is total world peace
