Dreaming Peace

Sleep and dream of carefree days
Where talk is of beauty and not decay
And love is never lost
Nor fought for, nor pained
A world where bloodshed is looked on with shame.
Where no man is killed
for playing the same game.
Where hands are fallen,
unclenched and tame.
Where talk of war is talk of sin
And it never matters when losers win.
Then wake up and smell the roses
When one door opens the same door closes.
