Chill

Dear World I have a message
I wrote it with a quill
a message full of hope and joy,
a simple, one word pill
it's not the perfect answer
or cure for all every ill
in fact it is two simple words:
everybody 'chill'.

I never really liked the word
it seems a little lazy
but occasionally it's useful
to counteract the crazy

And so I'll preach my message
and sing this little song
I know it isn't brilliant
but also isn't wrong
Perhaps, in calm reflection,
we'll wish for violent thrills
but now I think
it would be best
if everybody chills.
