Peace

I never understood the kings
Whom, like a toddler won't give
The toy back when asked.
Or, like a whore, will refuse
Sex, just to lord their lusty powers.
Or, like a bully, will beat the kids
Into submission on the playground.

I understand it only when reading
Literature, that adultery is more noble than marriage.
War is more noble than peace.
Power is more noble than cooperation.
That these virtues prevail,
While Alexander is more noble than Homer,
Julius Caesar more noble than Virgil.
How Ovid writes his stories,
Rapes the women of lower class,
And this is deemed a better world.

I've found peace far more interesting.
Sultry loves in a marriage.
Banquets, sharing, merrymaking.
Love, Joy and Peace are superior qualities than
Adultery, Conquering and Envy.
