Peace, Double or Nothing

Give peace a chance To sit at the table It’s worth the gamble And is most able To win a few hands Or spin the big wheel Give peace a chance to Get in on the deal Give peace a chance It has better odds Than a war waging ‘Tween wanna-be-gods We know peace can have At least nine in ten Chances of winning Versus fighting men Give peace a chance It’s in the cards When warmongers fold Give them best regards No matter the score Peace won’t be bluffing And then it will win Double or nothing.

A very worthwhile endeavor, David. Hope this idea catches on. This is, after all, the season of "Peace and Joy", is it not?

Fun read about a very serious topic, David. I agree, let's give peace a chance. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Beauteous and hopeful message in this fine poem, David. I wish peace would break out instead of war. All the best to you. ~

Great idea. Would that the politicians were open to such a thing... Maybe make a film on the subject, and slowly it'll seep in. Slowly. Very slowly... :) Merry and Happy, David

A well written poem. There is much to think about. There will be peace when no one hurts the child of a mama bear.

It will never happen David. Not until the Prince of Peace arrives to settle scores. Then peace for a thousand years

Agreed; I just liked the gaming comparison. There's also that tricky Ponzi scheme called the U.S. dollar that needs to be borrowed into existence, and what better way for them then war. .
