April the second to be called "peoples peace day".
From Joe
April the second an international holiday, called peoples peace day.
The second of April as its the day after 'April fools day' I think the world populace
have been fools long enough to the cause and effect of wars.'

A poetical essay by Percy Bysshe Shelley,
I stumbled across this by accident Don, it would make
a great read on any April the second holiday.' keep well mate..
Millions to fight compell'd, to fight or die
In mangled heaps on War's red altar lie . . .
When the legal murders swell the lists of pride;
When glory's views the titled idiot guide
Percy Bysshe Shelley
A sad truth for the mongrel aloof,
yet to die in vain is the matter,
make it a matter of pride? oh forsooth?
The Somme had the bones, yes to scatter,
Don Johnson
Thank you Joe Maverick, apologies to Percy Bysshe Shelly.
