The Peace Sign

I remember the sixties what a turbulent time,
war, free love, equal rights all had signs.
But the one that survived even till this day,
is the peace sign it's always showed the way.
No matter how you drew it the meaning never changed,
it helped guide a generation and kept it sane.
For peace is the only way to survive,
and work with our fellow man to stay alive.
