Sometimes

Sometimes I think, sometimes I dream Of future times that may be less mean When peeps can tell the truth all day Not hide behind some smoke screen play If all the world had listened well When John imagined and did tell Everyone that they could help change The world from war to peace ain't strange Not that I was so deluded To think that all would be included For many evil plans remain Too many men are quite insane Megalomania must be epidemic Greed is surely now quite systemic Commercial interests rule ever more Their power exceeds countries, that's for sure Ah but we few do long for more cooperation and love to endure Mesmerised by beauty that transcends The cheats and bullies and poor pretence Come let's dance amongst the trees Where we can join the birds and bees Avoid the traps of urban wares Strip away those worldly cares Circle around a simple fire Nothing more than root desire Poise and grace and passions freed Indulge in just our basic needs Hold the torches for the other Maybe we can still yet discover What man once did have to leave When he first chose to deceive Sometimes I dream...... ©Rhumour April 12th 2008
