Time

I’m waiting for the war to end

It can’t go on too long

Our modern world is instant send

And someone will write a song

 

And everyone is saying stop

Except that little man

Who sits alone at Russia’s top

Vladimir Putin

 

And how to talk to enemies

That’s a challenge now

Be careful when extempore

They hear it in Moscow

 

Launching words like javelins

Adding fuel to fire

What we need is wisdom-ings

To lessen all the ire

 

Christ when captive took a blow

From the High Priest’s man

Tell my why you stoop so low

Answer if you can

 

In the court of Pilate

A dialogue took place

Accused condemned to a cruel fate

The Lord stood in his place

 

A king I am and you shall see

Coming on the clouds

The truth when all is said of me

In whispers and out loud

 

I am the way you are looking for

The truth the life the peace

Lay down your weapons leave this gore

It is time for war to cease
