TRUE PEACE

by Yocheveth Barnett

1995

I am a dove from up above—
The symbol of freedom; the symbol of Love.
I seek to soar high; I seek to dive low.
I flow—free as the winds that blow.

But now I am caught in a process called "Peace";
I fear this cage has a very long lease.
I am tied up in conflict; I am tangled in hate—
The shedding of innocent blood is my fate.

Ah me! To be free!—Once again free!
Free to strive—free to "Be"; free to strive to be "Me";
And then we would see True Peace—naturally.

The beautiful dove from up above
Is no longer "a symbol of freedom"; "a symbol of love".
Now she is caught in a process called "Peace";
And this cage has a very long lease.

She is tied up in conflict; tangled in hate;
The shedding of innocent blood is her fate.
But it's not too late, it's not too late
For her to return to her TRUE state.

BECAUSE The Children of Israel

Are Blessed and Beloved; we are Reverend and Revered.
We are blessed and beloved, there's no further need for tears.
We are blessed and beloved, And we have been for years.
