What Does Peace Really Mean?

Poem Written On Sept. 30, 2006

You say you want to give another chance

I don't know if this feeling's right

I really would like to get off the foolish stance

Do you want me to join another fight?

Sometimes it don't add up to the right command

What does peace really mean?

You can't just ask for forgiveness from me and ask me to rip off their heads

Time and time and time again

I don't know where this is going

I really hope that time comes to mend

Trying to do all I can to keep the ball rolling

Don't try to go around acting opposite

Of the feelings that were known to represent

You just don't know what I want

Trying to bring meaning to peace within

I watch you and your fronts

Peace could come from various sources

Anger can't outweigh it

I really'd like to be patient and wait for more

Rather than just be paperchasing

You could have all the hype in the world

But not really be on top

If you gotta constantly hurt others

To run onto that spot

You don't know the meaning of peace

When you're not really at ease

We all could say things that lead us feeling confused

One statement brings interpretations

So what we must do

To gain something out of that situation

Is to put more thoughts into next moves

Or else that explanation will have a limitation

If you really want peace you must live true

There's really claims to an expiration

Of a soul that comes unglued

Raising the bar over the expectation

Could bring a negative attitude

The ego must be pushed for a bit

Or else you really won't go further if you refuse

To meet halfway at least to come to persue confrontations with a proclamation

That first verse made me think about the war and stuff.

"Don't try to go around acting opposite

Of the feelings that were known to represent" - Now that's what's up. I really liked these lines.

"You could have all the hype in the world

But not really be on top

If you gotta constantly hurt others

To run onto that spot

You don't know the meaning of peace

When you're not really at ease" - Abuse of the power and unawareness of the responsibility.

"To gain something out of that situation

Is to put more thoughts into next moves

Or else that explanation will have a limitation" - Truth spoken. Makes ya think.

That was a nice overall write. Some lines really grabbed me. What got you to writting this? I can see a couple pop of instances, but I'm wonderin' from you personally.

I think it really is motivated from the general thought of how somebody could squash beef with another person but it's in the purpose of starting beef with someone else? You could see it in life in general and that's messed up for real, how could you shake hands and squash beef but then start another with another person at basically the same time? How's that having a peaceful attitude? That's what pissed me off to write this, just wanted to bring that real talk
