Pulse (The City Beautiful) - by Zen Fuse Box - from Turnpike to Jupiter

The City Beautiful

In 1973, hate burned down the UpStairs lounge in New Orleans

The French Quarter lost 32 lives, burned down

Down, down into hate-spawned martyrdom's trench

If we them and they live far away

Can we kill them and make them go away?

We can kill each and every one, one day

And drone on and on every precious day

As the drums of destruction hammer on

As multitudes' faiths and beliefs lean on

All of our safety and welfares lean on

The cycle of destruction going on

There is fame in some media spotlight

Arguing who may be wrong and who right

And there is no peace in the pulse of night

No speeches for pleading displays of might

As though peace is a goal easy to leave

And life, a treasure easy to retrieve

The City Beautiful
