The irony of my time November 1, 2008

In pursuit of peace,

Wars I wage.

Its the irony of my times,

I seek a better world by taking lives.

 

I search for love but I can trust no more.

I build roads to get closer.

Then I make walls to keep me safer.

I only mean well but how do I know…

On yonder side, is it love thats sown or rage thats grown?

 

Every day I live a lie.

Of finding a better world before I die.

When have knives weeded out hatred,

Or bullets built trust?

I am searching for a world I killed.

And why am I still gunning my neighbour for it?
