After Global Peace

'After global peace, what next, will follow? ' Course there'll be no apathy or gluttony, 'Course not, ' you won't beg, steal or borrow. There'll be no infighting even for survival Love will follow love and topple all evil. Imprisoned poets, will sing of joy and life And return home to unknown foreign lands There'll be no more murder on the 10 o'clock news. Soon soldiers will down their barbaric tools Stop listening to governmental patriarchal fools. 'And write about how even they too were used.' Course there'll be no hunger or indifference We shall all be—brothers & sisters There'll be no envy or lust, no avarice Growing rice and living in harmony, could be nice. 'After global peace, what next will follow? ' Well, we shall all live like Easter Islanders With big heads, and practice slash-and-burn. 'Pretty shortly, won't we run out of resources? ' Yes, but like so many, before us, we‘ll set sail for the sun. Put all our faiths on a straw raft as did our forefathers. Kon-Tiki man, and look for the Promised Land. 'I beg your pardon, but hasn't that ocean, been mapped.' You Sir! You have no faith. Look at our giant statues Hollow-eyed, gaunt faces, didn't their ancestors survive?
