The need for World peace is paramount and the need for World <br />peace we should embrace <br />And when you make yourself a better person you make the World a better place <br />And if every soldier refused to fight in war we would not have the war dead <br />And every war down through the centuries to another war has led. <br /> <br />Those not with us are against us some have been known to say <br />And to stir up ill feeling we use the words of us and they <br />But it always takes more than one for to cause the great divide <br />And wise people as we well know are not all on one side. <br /> <br />The flower of peace blooms for awhile and then suddenly it dies <br />And again the fighter jets fly overhead and dropp their bombs from the night skies <br />And the so called smart bombs do not always hit their targets and the survivors are left to mourn their loss <br />And for years are left to bear their loss in grief of their heavy lifetime cross. <br /> <br />The need for World peace is paramount as war never solves anything <br />Though heroic soldiers are glorified and of them songwriters sing <br />But songs don't bring the dead to life and it would seem to me <br />That we have failed to learn from the mistakes of war history.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-need-for-world-peace-is-paramount/
