A Petition
So here we go again my friends
A bunch more time has passed
Will the coming year be any closer
To world peace than the last?
I highly doubt it dearest ones
That's not the way it works
We think we're making progress
But we have the same old quirks
Perhaps if enough of you fine folks
Step up and sign a petition
I'll take it to our glorious leaders
And explain to them our mission
To see world peace within our time
Where nations put down their arms
For the common good of all mankind
Not another human harmed
You may call me a silly dreamer
Been called that name before
But if someone doesn't step up to the plate
We'll just continue on with wars
Probably don't have a chance in hell
Of changing a blessed thing
But at least let's make a real effort
So the bells of freedom may ring
