Stephen Pennell Poet Ghazal

Give Peace a Chance

All nations and peoples sharing ,  Living in a peaceful world
Your breed or the creed we don't care , Living in a peaceful world 

Arms around a world , nations united friends reunited 
Let  peace pipes play out a fanfare, Living in a peaceful world

March arm in arm , war drums silenced by a crying babe in arms
Politician's ignored  beware, Living in a peaceful world

Raise your voices in song let's give peace a chance Lennon once said 
Stand up to violence  four square, Living in a peaceful world

I only wish to leave my name Stephen no grieving victims
Nothing should come near or compare , Living in a peaceful world
