choose

[Michael J Masiko]

peace
in it's purest sense
is a choice
and trustily noticed as happiness.

call me a lazy soul
but i swear it's true
the easiest way
to insure
our highest quality of life
is to treat eachother nice.

the more we learn of how we inadvertently
rub against eachother
the more we will understand
at least enough to tolerate

and i for one
certainly do not wish
to be included in a circle of friends
who were just like me
boy would that be annoying.

i really got a handle on this one people
so don't let go
if we don't see eye to eye
i believe we know better now
than one of us does not
need to live on a dusty reserve
nor in rusting chains
or better yet
dead in a box
in all of our known history
it hasn't worked the least
we can have it all
the best that it can be
choose peace

we could convince ourselves we're better than all this
but really we are only what we believe
we sow bigger better faster than yoursen
oh look at the joy we reep
we can have it all
the best that it can be
choose peace
