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 written June 10,2013 for Give Peace a Chance contest

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.
