Should River Flows
Should River flows, where dreams unfold,
In currents deep our tales of old;
Not wars for crowns, nor fields of rust,
But battles waged of nobler dust.
My river’s whisper, pure and clear,
No swords unsheathed nor hearts in fear
Should River flows, it runs, it knows,
It seeks the peace where mercy grows.
Should River flows
Should be the peace we chase, not war,
Not greed, not blood on distant shore,
But quiet streams through quiet lands,
Not shaking fists nor grasping hands.
No broken peace to pierce our sky,
No bitter men who scream and die
Should River flows, unbound, untamed,
It dreams of all that man has maimed.
Should River flows.
Should be the truth that girds the night,
Not shadowed lies that hide from light;
For those who lead with proof and grace,
Not empty words that mark this race.
Their tongues should weave with silver thread,
Not bleed the hearts of those they’ve led.
Should River flows, it winds and wends,
And mends the wounds that power rends.
Should River flows
-Hermit King-
