In Peace...... Poem by RIC BASTASA

for years
the good has not triumphed

your meekness was met
with their violence

the good have done
nothing but
rationalize trying to
justify your vileness

now is the time for
change
the good has failed
the hard fist is here
the good hands shall have
their own guns

kill the bad
kill the bad
clean the land
strengthen the
band

violence for violence
let the war begin
kill the man
kill the man

when everyone is dead
when the night is peaceful again
let us meet
and bury them

at the porch we sit
see the stars again
in harmony
in peace.
