Make Love, Not War

Make love not war Keep peace on the radar The generation of the 60's did define Free love, and the peace sign People today are still seeking peace But governments seem only to want war As tear gas and bullets they release To maim kill and scar Peace appears to be a distant dream As those in power plot and scheme Shooting their missiles from afar They should learn to make love, not war!
