A blue pen
A black pen
A red pen
Attack pen
It happened
Assassin
The man from
Manhattan
A passion
Reaction
A faction
Bolt action
A fragment
Distraction
Dispassion
It’s action
All eyes are open
Both sides of them can see
Some doors they are closing
Others open up and see
Can’t you see the stress?
The way the populace will shake?
We know what’s coming next
‘Cause we see it everyday
We head into a time
It’s a time we’ve known before
It’s a place we’ve spent some time in
This space has been explored
If we take the time to notice
All times are on repeat
It’s some grand lesson teaching
If our eyes could only see
Life moves sideways
Not only up and down
It’s kind of like a sine wave
Except this one’s spinning ‘round
It’s left and right and zig zag
In and out and up
It twists into a pattern
A geometric slump
A tangled knotted mess
There’s chaos and there’s peace
Life moves through distant valleys
And I know that you have seen
You have also seen some peaks
And you’ve also felt the sun
Yeah life has its disease
But it also has its love
I think it takes two opposites
To formulate a whole
Life is a diametric composite
You have to have them both
You cannot have an up
Unless there is a down
The pain can come within
But that pain is coming out
Wins will grace our lives
And loss will rear its head
Some times we feel excite
Sometimes we’re almost dead
Life is but a drama
Some type of waking dream
Something we are caught in
Is the thing that makes us free
I’m looking through the valleys
And I’m looking through the peaks
And I see a commonality
That I write in poetry
I know just what we need
I think that I can see it
Some tragedies will come
But I think that we can beat it
The answer isn’t war
We’ll find no cure in hate
We’ve been through this before
And of course it’s not too late
We can learn to stand again
Back up on our two feet
We can fill our hearts with love
Fill our world with inner-peace
That is what it takes
No longer dumb about this fact
Peace will move us forward
But hate will take us back
