No Need

I try to drift off, in need of sleep
the verses tug at me
there will be no slumber
until this message is forged
for all to read and see.

Deep in Peru there was a city
pyramids.. an eternal flame
five thousand years have gone
stories are told.. all accounts are the same.

This culture was based on love
created upon free trade
no 'weapons of war' were found
no arrow points, nor shining blade.

Is there a lesson here?
A millennium tells the tale
love and creation
a peaceful nation..

there was
NO NEED FOR FEAR!
