We Wait and we wait

THEY WAIT...PRAY FOR PEACE
BY MIRA WILDER
2014

Don't want to hear your super sonic blare
I can see from my window
that no body cares...
And I don't care what they say
blaring from my big screen
night and day
ain't got nothing on me
talkin plutonium
conservative needs
no radiation moon launch
make me change my way's for you
if this place Blows
we all go too!
no use in telling me that you are the winner,
all of your promises don't feed me dinner!
so we wait and we pray

There's soldiers everywhere you look
round every street corner
round every nook
never know  what the orders might be
media bombards  TMZ
acrobatic narcissistic sociopathic dance
whole world moving in a trance
...and we wait
we wait
as
history repeats
all for power
and for
greed
the world clock
screams
a minute left
to blow away
all of our dreams
so

no more
earth fracking
killing  animals
building
war machines,
our son's and daughters
invading others
as the third world screams
bad air
no water
oil  climbs

food cost is outrageous
no tax relief
revenue thieves
planting evil seeds
as they
rape the forest from the poorest
withholding
health care needs...

and we wait
pray for peace
pray for peace
and we wait
and we  wait

We're just pins on a map
while the government sets a trap
or heads of state
who's gone mad
power tripping...
gone mad
gone mad
And we bought the illusion
they were eager to sell
and they painted  it heaven
it turned out to be hell...

I don't care what you say
they have nothing on me
no talk of plutonium
conservative needs
color TV's
invisible wave lengths
causing
EMT's
 if this place blows
we all go too
..
no more guns

and anti depressants bad medicines
hunger relief
cure disease
safe playgrounds
safe police
clean water
we're all the same
as we wait
for change,we wait want to help and we pray
pray for peace
hunger relief
