What. On. Earth,
I thought
is a peace parade?
Who are you talking to,
and what are you asking for,
what are you saying, really
and to what end?
In a world
devoid of guns and bombs,
and sharp sticks and swords,
would you
ask for an end
to hurtful silences, and harsh words?
Would there be
a non-proliferation treaty
to get rid of all the
offensive chords?
Would we decide
-- not that we do it now --
who is wrong and who is right
not with a battle or a fight,
but with poetry contests, and debates?
and what then
to what end,
would we want
to do anything like that?
What's a peace parade,
what's more to it,
who goes in out in the Sun,
because they believe in the cause,
and not just for some weekend fun,
what are their beliefs, and what do they demand,
or is it just a bunch of frenchies
wanting to pretend-act like real adults?
