Joseph May Poet Rhyme Royal

Make Love, Not War

Make love not war
Keep peace on the radar
The generation of the 60's did define 
Free love,    and the peace sign 

People today are still seeking peace 
But governments seem only to want war 
As tear gas and bullets they release 
To maim kill and scar 

Peace appears to be a distant dream 
As those in power plot and scheme 
Shooting their missiles from afar 
They should learn to make love, not war!
