Peace, Double or Nothing

Give peace a chance
To sit at the table
It’s worth the gamble 
And is most able

To win a few hands
Or spin the big wheel
Give peace a chance to
Get in on the deal

Give peace a chance
It has better odds
Than a war waging
‘Tween wanna-be-gods

We know peace can have
At least nine in ten
Chances of winning
Versus fighting men

Give peace a chance
It’s in the cards
When warmongers fold
Give them best regards

No matter the score
Peace won’t be bluffing
And then it will win
Double or nothing.

A very worthwhile endeavor, David. Hope this idea catches on. This is, after all, the season of "Peace and Joy", is it not?

Great idea. Would that the politicians were open to such a thing... Maybe make a film on the subject, and slowly it'll seep in. Slowly. Very slowly... :) Merry and Happy, David

A well written poem. There is much to think about. There will be peace when no one hurts the child of a mama bear.

It will never happen David. Not until the Prince of Peace arrives to settle scores. Then peace for a thousand years

Agreed; I just liked the gaming comparison. There's also that tricky Ponzi scheme called the U.S. dollar that needs to be borrowed into existence, and what better way for them then war. .
