Peace Of Mind

by A.N.M. - Pisces

Lennon said it best
With, "All We Need Is Love"...
Dyan's manifest was
"Never Trust The Gov!"

Joplin was the first
To loudly scream her thirst
For some semblance of "respect"...
Much praise, yet much neglect!

So many have been privy
To thoughts that bring such doubt
Whether they're celebrities
Or people "without clout"

We all are walking spirits...
Capsulized within our brains---
Hoping when the day is done
Our dignity remains.

Black or white or red or brown
We all wish to be "heaven-bound"...
Free from things...that "evil" brings...
Of mind, be "strong" and "sound."

It's not an easy thing for sure--
To have "true peace of mind"...
To always feel you're "safe", "secure"
And never face the grind

Of dealing with life's ups and downs
But "dealing" is the key...
Grab hold your wits!  Renounce the shit!
DEMAND that you be free!!!!
