A Beautiful Peace

Oh look there's a dead rabbit' all flat' completely flat' oh there's another one' what's in the gutter... oh it's a' one of those polystyrene' um boxes' that's all' take away... there's chips in there' didn't really want to finish the chips' that's unusual' I'd been walking for hours Needed a rest Take a good look around No where to rest There's a shop Selling gentlemen's suits Further along An estate agent or two And a takeaway sign Over a dusty door Shiny photos of food Slightly micro-waved It's a Methodist hall No smoking No dogs It looks pretty grim In the Methodist hall Despite a poster which says That its there for us all And it's a beautiful day For walking away Beautiful day But not here --- A Beautiful Peace - Robert Wyatt
