Its not that hard,
All we need is peace...


Poem Artwork

They gave me a gun,
Told me congratulations son,
Now you can go and kill you some gooks,
Boy, are you gonna have now some fun…

I didn’t last too long,
Don’t get me wrong,
I “sort” of had fun,
Till jam did my gun,
I did die that day,
Went to meet the Son…

Others were there,
The enemy, I do declare,
We all held hands and entered,
Into the Kingdom of Heaven,
He with His hand gestured,
We were all His children,
For all intents & purposes,
We had to each other surrendered…
