The Need For Peace
it begins like birth pains
before a volcano
how the earth groans
from within
and then things begin to shake
you never know when
it will blow
endangering everything
the frustration I feel
mounting up
needs to be held deep
inside long enough
until I can find time
to be alone by myself
and then I can scream
or do anything
to get it all out
I do not like being entertained
by that black box thing
I’d rather stare at
a blank wall
I hate the feeling
the television brings
as it buzzes in my ears
and shows flashes of things
that just get on my nerves
more than anything
If I could choose
what I wanted to do
I’d rather read or write
and I’d be all alone
oh how I wish I could be in peace
soon enough, my darling
soon enough
