Peace Among the Chaos
I race the sun light through streams of trees
I run so fast, too fast to breath
Jump and dodge joins in my beat
I sprint to tree, from tree to creek
My world spins while the sky falls down
I stop by a cliff as did all sound
Laughter fades when I look at my town
Below the cliff there is nothing but ground
I run with hesitation to my once called home
Then fall and stare at the ashes being blown
I race against my mind to cease
Reason for the chaos among the peace
People emerge from the forest with fear
Children cry, women moan, men’s eyes spilling tears
War’s chaos could only had brought forth it’s birth
Yet those with strong eyes say it was all work of earth
We sit round a circle and plan for tomorrow
Women stand and dance to ease our sorrow
Songs grow loud and the lyrics speak of the day loss
While we, the Nacirema hope for peace among the chaos.
