usadeepsouth.com CALM IS ALL WE NEED by Eddie Edwards Draper Too many spigots spouting off Expounding on too many sprees- A resting soul can only see Calm is all we need Calm is all we need Yes, we all get angry Venom's hatred doth not soothe When vengeance takes ahold of heart Calm is all we need Calm is all we need Tolerance is the watchword The future of mankind (you see) But why can't man in all his whim SEE Calm is all we need Calm is all we need _________________________________ Eddie Draper is a native of the Mississippi Delta and is a regular contributor to USADS.
