Salve For The Soul

Psalm of Peace
I remember, when I was young,
The music was wild, but the words were strong.
Now we hear the music's change,

words unclear, the lyrics strange.

Songs of violence and hate increase,

but who will sing, a psalm of peace?

Life can be hell, but no excuse,

for or hate, or drug abuse.

Everyday, a sole is lost,

no shots fired, what is the cost?

The war's within, and it must cease,

but who will sing, a psalm of peace?

Don't get caught, in the earthly grind,

take some time, to clear your mind.

We start out parting, but then don't know,

what else it takes, to rock & roll.

Taste of the fruits, but don't get drunk,

know your limits, then your problems shrunk.

As your tastes, for highs decrease,

you will sing, a psalm of peace.
