Give Peace a Chance

Everything in this world deserves a chance to live,
                      but in the real world some would rather take then give.
                                             GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

                          Too many innocent angels have been taken away,
                        then more innocent are left to wonder why and pray.
                                             GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

                           What makes some people think they are better then me,
                                  God created us all equal and his son set us free.
                                             GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

                            Children are killing children there is no excuse,
                               and it is never right to say I win,you lose.
                                             GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

                            We will never understand the evil that we see,
                           when there is no difference between you and me.
                                             GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

                             I pray that one day we can dance the same dance,
                                            but until that day comes,
                                             GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/15/2013 8:17:00 PM sorry it didn't place, sweetie. This is one I should have tried to do but I just couldn't think what to say. I commend you for doing this poem. It seems like it should be an easy topic but you truly have to think it out, how to put a new spin on it! You had a lot of good to say. Just love that last stanza about us all dancing the same dance one day. Login to Reply
