P.O.E.

Peace is what we wish for, not another theatre of war
End all of these hostilities and close the devils door
All the needless death and total destruction
Can't we find a more peaceful option?
Everyone around the world join together your hands

Overcome the feuds fought across all the lands
No more innocent civilian lives should be lost

Each time we are left counting the cost
And what about the soldiers, out there on the front line
Returning home in boxes, the end of their lifeline
Tears fall from loved ones, they say their last goodbye
How can it be right to let these people die?

A Sonnet of Peace

Oh how we long to live in peaceful times,
We are fed up of all this troubled life,
An end to wars, the violence and crimes,
Sick of all the conflict and bitter strife.

United Nations try to keep the peace,
Negotiate a better way to live,
Trusting that the trouble will then all cease,
And hope that with our foes we can forgive.

If ever there is danger to befall,
Whenever trouble is about to stir,
No matter if it's big or even small,
That's when the peaceful talking should occur.

Instead we go and start another war,
We load our guns and kill yet even more.

Fighting for Peace

Mothers shedding tears,

As their children go to war,

Men off to fight for real,

Not kids playing any more.

It almost seems ironic,

For a dispute to cease,

When talking gets us nowhere,

We have to fight for peace.

State leaders in the office,

Flexing their sharp tongues,

Whilst soldiers fight their battle,

Killing with their guns.

Eventually one side will win,

Their victory flags will fly,

But are there any winners,

When so many had to die?

Lennon said to imagine,

"Nothing to kill or die for"

So keep the peace together,

Don't start a bloody war.
