Give Peace a Chance

Give peace a chance, will those of nobility declare Intelligence of spirit, who could ever compare Valiantly fighting the evil in the world, unwilling to fail Earnestly helping those needy, without ever becoming frail Peacefully sacrificing time and energy without ever reconsidering Endangering themselves to constantly make a difference Antagonizing the establishment for an instance Coming home with battle scars to wear and none to share Emphasizing they are not heroes, only that "they care" Angering all others, for showing they disagree Considering the options with nowhere to hide Hiroshima and its aftermaths, would never subside Attempting to disrupt, what those warmongers insist No necessity to justify, the results do persist Coming full circle does our world continue to exist Ending in oblivion, if we don't learn how to desist

Joshua, centuries have gone by and man is oblivious to one fact, each generation has a day of reckoning..we will not be the first. So we remain grateful that God is just, each must try to make a difference everyday. Hopefully, one generation will finally get it as nothing is impossible with God. Peace, audrey
