A Creek Filled With Peace

The antelope and bison
they silently roam.
Ever in search
of their celestial home.

Resting together in the foothills
along a life giving creek.
Our creators gift
of a peaceful mystique.

A lesson to learn
a value to hold
from the day of our birth
to the time we call old.

We must find love for our brothers
regardless of race.
Looking past religious differences
and that political base.

There's no reason to hate
no reason at all.
For as history's shown us
hate has been man's great fall.

It's a terrible way
for a person to live
when their peace and joy
drains out through a sieve.

It's a bitter pill
yes, one we must swallow.
It's that lack of our joy
that makes us feel hollow.

Go now to that creek
below the foothills
to witness the peace
and drink in your fill.

You see, the antelope and bison
have shown us the way.
Through their harmonious existence
they've found peace for today.
