Robert Wyatt
"A Beautiful Peace"

I've been walking for hours,
needed a rest.
Take a good look around,
nowhere to rest.

There's a shop
selling gentlemen's suits.
Further along
an estate agent or two.

And a take-away sign
over a dusty door.
Shiny photos of food,
slightly microwaved.

There's a Methodist hall.
No Smoking
No Dogs
in the Methodist hall.

It looks pretty grim
in the Methodist hall,
despite a poster which says that
“He's There for Us All”

And it's a beatuful day,
for walking away

Its's a beautiful day,
but not there.
