In thinking of peace at home
it's best to forget Rome
Home can be more than
where the heart lives
It should be where we
love and forgives
Our home resides in a
geographical location
somewhere in a
governmental nation
Rome could be part of
the equation
When it comes to all of the bull
there could be no elimination

We all enter our door with a key
close it so no one else can see
Lock it to remain safe and free
No one knows what goes on
behind closed doors
They really can't see how
we might walk our floors
Maybe worrying about our
each and everyday chores
short on the buck
trying to overcome bad luck
At times it seems as though
lightening has struck

Life offers very few thrills
it's more like fish kills
especially when it comes to
our ills
Some of us would die if
we didn't drop our pills
Before we lay down to sleep
many of us pray that our
good health will keep
Peace at home becomes
overcoming the nightmares
and effectively dealing with
the negativity that stares
The lions and tigers can roam
right in our own home
Circumstances can rule dictator
even for the best gladiator
The devil will sit as instigator
hoping we burn in his percolator
If we survive the night 
we get to look back as spectator
or the devil smiles as the eliminator
