Seen heard but never discerned

Seen heard, but never discerned

Apples not oranges

And the word said, Love your fellow man as your self. Forgive and live as the Christ forgave

They pacified not
Those who terrorized them from Gaza
Those who banded like bandits
Nowhere in Gaza does one find peace
So please once more
Just listen to see

Perchance you’ll see reason
History proclaims sounds the trumpet
The truth
Man he is blind
He refuses to perceive
He precludes the truth
That evil men lie

Tombstones attest
To the failure of men
For he refused to comprehend
His foolishness he chose
Whitewashed stone is his legacy
Blinded deaf he refuses to see

O mankind did freak
The world over in his delight
The terror the fright of the night
Giving up all to gain a pittance of peace
Again man’s cry does remain
Peace o sweet peace
O man is given to pieces
O the pieces of peace

Now hear what was spoken
By Wisdom of old
” when good men refuse to stand
Evil men will stand to rule all.’
It is not a prediction
It is a painful old fact
O Man in your misery
Look back at your history
If you want peace at all

O man you so lack
History’s teaching
Around you a cry
Peace O sweet peace
Elusive is peace
When you’re loath to stand up
Many pieces are found.
War leads to famine
Pestilence to Death
Darkness wages on
Its genocide
Is its gift
