Ocean Of Peace

Deep under the ocean in a metal cage
No ray of light around
In a simulation in the computer age
A solution must be found
But this is not what makes me think
In my living-room
The importance of the game continuously shrinks
With impending doom

Thinking of Cousteau I begin to dream
I feel I'm really there
I start to wonder what's happening at 20000 feet
I leave reality and slip down into the ocean of peace

The echo of silence surrounding me
I sink down to the ground
Imagination causes happiness
Is it because I see no clouds?
But I can feel I'm not alone
Strange creatures in the darkness
Surround me and my submarine
But they cause no fear
Why can't this be real?
The trance goes on...

Following the slightly rising ground
I reach a coral reef
But something's wrong in this place
Controls seem out of order
Unnatural wounds in ancient shapes
Make me search for reasons
And soon I find what caused that all
Radiation all around
This was a centre for nuclear tests
Because no man lived here

I leave the reef of eternal sadness
And glide along the surface
A boat comes in sight so very small
It wouldn't survive a storm
Overcrowded with people with hopeful eyes
But what are they hoping for?
Caught in a shell on an evil ocean
Far out of sight of home
Thinking of all wars in this world
I realize they had to go

I awake of my dream with horror
Staring at the screen
I switsch off teh computer as fast as I can
And will never start this game again
The ocean of peace is a perfect illusion
Reality is full of grief
