Round 5 Cassandra vs. Che  "Peace With A Lie"

Peace With A Lie

Who doesn’t enjoy peace,

It’s not talkative,

It’s not boastful,

It’s cooperative.

I like peace.

But have you ever seen peace with a lie?

It’s mannerisms changes,

And it gets shy.

It’s a deeper quiet,

One that wears shades,

And long sleeves,

And socks and shoes.

It sticks out like a sore thumb,

And still it’s hard to grasp,

It’s mean looking,

And yet still so peaceful.

The chemistry of the two,

I tell you,

So blue-green.

And still you should see the line.

They come in droves to make peace with a lie,

They die waiting to make peace with a lie,

They lay in hospital rooms trying to make peace with a lie.

I did see the line,

And it did get my attention.

I did see the line,

And it sure sounded as if it called my name.

I did see the line,

And it looked like fun.

I did see the line,

And it was moving fast.

I did see the line,

But couldn’t find the sand.

I did see the line,

And tried to jump it.

And just about then...

There was a growl,

And then a hiss.

And that’s when,

I awakened from my daydream,

And found peace,

Sitting there naked.

And it’s just about then,

I dropped the lie,

And held onto that peace,

With both hands.

And when I did,
True peace smiled.  


Chad-Ezra "Che"- She was right there; where I left her... and when I did my 360 I swear I spotted her, but I can no longer see her.  My parents are up there too, but I wouldn't dare look their way now.  Something told me it was a bad idea to come right out the gate with the truth.  Something told me they couldn't handle it.  Religion, abuse, condemnation, and freedom all in one poem.  Surely sounds like a Documental.  I can see that they're hanging in there with me though.  Especially after Charity.  Guess they're trying to wrap their minds around me; the youthfulness and the awareness and how well they've married.  There's a good bit of voices breaking the silence with "Alright, alright." and that let's me know not to run.  So I turn the page, take a look at the next drawing, and continue... but my mind in still in search of her.  


Peace With A Lie

We make peace with flies,
We make peace with learning to tie a tie,
Why can't we make peace with a lie.

We make peace with the thought that we're going to die,
We make peace with flies,
We make peace with learning to tie a tie,
Why not a lie?

I think of lies like ribbons,
I tie and untie.

I think of ribbons like peace,
Beautifully done,
Beautifully undone.

I think of peace like ribbons,
They hang.. they don't hang,
They curl.. they don't curl.

I think of the world in uncomplicated ways,
I make peace with flies,
And I cover my fly.
