Analysis of PEACE
Peace, peace, peace.
Is what the mouth speaks of
But the heart speaks of its irony
For thou who drinks from the blood of its flesh, living the souls helpless at the other world
Walking and weeping helplessly at their world
Though they get what they want through stillborn promises
And when it is granted it still remains a stillborn promise
Oh! the stillborn promises of yesterday, today and years to come
When will thou be fulfilled?
Though they do and get whatever they want
But forgetting that the supreme being rules over all
And all will be answerable to him.
