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 comp entry 11/03/2016

You have a unique voice, Stephen, and a great message to share. We all just wanna leave our names ... (and in a perfect peaceful world I doubt we would need politicians at all! well stated) ... Very enjoyable (as well as enlightening) read, my friend. Thanks for entering my contest and trying out the ghazal form!
