Poem of Peace ~ an original work by Dave Lucas

Dave Lucas ~ Poem of Peace

i dream of tranquil skies
and coming summer nights

without the drone of aircraft
without the hissing noises of war

without slipping on shell casings
or tripping over scattered body parts

when we can move through the night
unstopped as we approach any destination

my dream of calm realized
as we gather with friends downtown

Watching people walking hand in hand
as they go from shop to shop

i plan to educate and organize
and log on to skype with comrades

unimpeded by the government brother
who watches me with unblinking eyes

arrange, i say, your lives accordingly,
for the white boats which are coming
as surely as i lie here in the ditch
