Flowers For Guns
There may come a day
When decisions are made
When war in theatres
Will stop being played
The worlds matinees
Will show a different scene
As we all sit and watch
The return from being mean
No more enlisting
No more conscription
We all live our lives
In peaceful prescription
Our lives move on
With natural progression
As we close our eyes
To natural submission
There may come a day
When we have actually begun
To grow as a race
And have flowers for guns
