what new something shall set the world ablaze?
blazing voice song love war peace?
a blazing peace? yes that would definitely
be a something new under the sun
to activate a world peace all at once
a touch of something common i suppose
but all at once and everywhere the same
in the mind of most  not all but most
need perceive this "thing" lets call it
as we wish for it to appear here
on this rock and it must include
you and me for sure and how about
okay everyone breathing i suppose
just to be fair if they're made for it
that is like we must have eyeballs
to see dirt even so most will perceive
this "thing" though not all
a skunk smell in the air or a
thunderous banging in the ears or an
occurrence we cannot avoid like
the falling rocks of peace perhaps
or the moving trees of peace
or gold ! yeah a shiny golden peace
for everyone
everyone will work for that
or most everyone will move they're ****
for enough gold
( okay   let's be realistic
if sea shells would do it    fine
but they won't    so gold it is)
so now we have it
the question
it is here
it has arrived

how do we connect peace with gold?
