Peace.

C'mon, give peace a chance!

Outrageous, contagious,

detection, infection

All I have to do is...

thank God for...his resurrection?

Disbelieving, unreceiving

dedicated, medicated.

Every day I look around at things

that have become...less hated?

Once upon a time, ain't no nursery rhyme

but a mindset we should all hold dear.

This is our planet Earth

for all that it's worth.

One life is what we get

So make peace, lest we forget...

that the holocaust, and all the wars

that the slavery, behind all the bars

will all be freshly painted over

and yet live on,

in our hearts

in memories of scars,

and wounds

healed,

but still visible

to the naked eye.

So what today,

am I trying to say?

Love one another.

Give peace a chance.

So much easier to live life in peace, all that fighting well it's like swimming against the tide, gets you nowhere! Well said.

[Too Simple a Simon]

AMEN!

I love it! I can see you reading it in a dimly lit coffee shop, dramaticly flailing your arms as the man with the beret and goatee claps and eggs you on... What I am trying to say was great write.

Ahh, this is so good.
What a great message to send out, and nicely said too.
You have some valid and interesting points in here, and coat them with emotion and honesty like a true poet. Great, great, rhyming scheme, and excellent flow aswell, a very easy read.
Well done.
