10,000 Years (Peace Is Now)

The world is burning down
Can't you smell the smoke in the air?
War, disease, and famine
This demon, she is everywhere

Poets and preachers and politicians
They've all had their say
And we got 10,000 years
Devoted to nothing
But tomorrow and yesterday

If all of the ignorance in the world
Passed a second ago
What would you say?
Who would you obey?
I am here to say that

Peace is now

Mr. President
I hereby pardon you of all your crimes
For they are just as much mine

Selfishness and separation have led me
To believe that the world is not my problem
The world is not my problem
I am the world
And you are the world

If all of the ignorance in the world
Passed a second ago
What would you say?
Who would you obey?
I am here to say that

Peace is now

And when we are out of weapons and out of guns and out of knives do we use our fists?

Eliminate the man, not the race

Thank you sweetheart. yes, if you read the lyrics, it is what we all must remember.

 

[*Lazer*]

Cheffie you really are a wonderful guy.

 

[bluntforcemama]

Perfect!

 

[XXplorher]

Niiiiiiiiiice! Not bad at all, senior. I like it.

And I like the underlying message. Mainly - people forgot the point. If anything, this has helped us remember. It's not all about 'you'. Let's try not to forget that, eh....

(Liked the meter of it as well. Fitting for the tone. Talent).

 

[Beaker]

Yup

The River

And they came to the river
And they came from the road
And he wanted the sun
Just to call his own
And they walked on the dirt
And they walked from the road

Till they came up close

Throw your pain in the river
To be washed away slow

And we walked without words
And we walked with our lives
Two silent birds
Circled by

Like our pain in the river

And we followed the river
And we followed the road
And we walked through this land
And we called it a home
But he wanted the sun
And I wanted the whole
And the white light scatters
And the sun sets low

Like the pain in the river

Cool poem, Chefster.

I've not heard that PJ Harvey song before, Beakie. Is it on an album?

She won the Mercury Music Prize this week.

What is the mercury again?

The Pj Harvey one is on "Is this desire?"

And that first one is off "Mental Jewelry" by Live
