How did these threads come to be tangled?
A portion of time is exhausted in a daydream
Yet it tends to emerge in reality
Distorted chaos consuming being
Assembled from the mind’s eye
Encased in not so humble surroundings
Whether it is the flight of your imagination
Or the cardboard box of actuality
The same roads must be crossed
One well worn by fellow travellers
The other untouched by the human hand
Our uncertainties steer us like cattle
Into those already grazed pastures
An emotional slaughter is a head
However our concept is always the same
Live in reality instead of dreams
As dreams can become nightmares
Though is that not what reality already is?
Is peace not a dream?
And is war not a reality?

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

Poe you covered a lot of ground, and you did it very well. I believe if we pursue peace someday we'll find it.
