What is great in calling a spade a spade, say something metaphoric so that people rack their brains before they understand that you are talking about a spade.

Peace is for sale...

>> Monday, February 8, 2010

Today, when I went to our regular dining haunt, I happened to see this pamphlet which said:
Fish Available
1 Peace - 30.00

As soon as my eyes rolled across the laser jet ink words, a crazy notion entered my head and the following is the result of it.

If peace is for sale,
who are the buyers.
Even, if peace is for free,
who are the takers.

Peace would not cost nothing,
it would cost the strong,
to let live the weak.
It would cost the rich,
to let alone the poor.

Peace would not cost nothing,
it would cost the man,
to let live the dumb,
it would cost today,
to leave something for tomorrow.

Peace would not cost nothing,
it would cost the loath,
its very own soul.
It would cost the revenge,
it very own pride.

Peace would not need nothing,
it would need the man,
to curb his greed.
It would need the man,
to end war for peace.

Peace is for sale,
trade it for wars.
And, peace is for free,
if you welcome these costs.
