Lets lie

 * Lets lies *
These sleeping dogs let lie
To many tear to cry
If logs overturned
Old truths revealed
Safely hidden deep
Beneath rationalism and hypocrisy
These unsettled parents of
A tense strict peace
Long quiet sterile evenings
Doomed sleepless dreamless nights
Peacekeepers patrol regularly
Make no fuss
Compromise a little more
Until you can longer recognise
Who or what your fighting for
All the love and passion gone
What once seemed so black and white
A seamless sea of neutral grey
The thing you most desired
Grail lightly grasped
Has eluded you once more.
