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
