Peace...there is no such thing...

Have we ever really had peace?


Poem Artwork

Peace, there is no such thing…


 


When we have peace,


We seem to have too little money.


 


When we have peace,


We are never, or so it seems, happy.


 


When we have peace,


Some jerk gets into office to start a war.


 


When we have peace,


We seem to build more weapons of war.


 


When we have peace,


Our children are afraid of annihilation.


 


When we have peace,


Wait just a minute,


Do we ever really have peace?


The only peace I think we can have,


Is the piece we enjoy in bed,


With someone or our other halves!


 


So, again, do we ever really have peace?


 


Like John & Yoko stated long ago,


 


Lets Give Peace a Chance…


                                                (in peace, ED)

peace is a fleeting thing to be sure...that is why when you experience it, though it only be for a moment, savor it...nice job here, Ed

It's hard to know where you stand on the issue, but at the end I think you're in favor of peace. I think this is supposed to be sarcastic. I think...

At least John and Yoko had peace...I think.
