Peace

Peace

If the Earth was destroyed by a nuclear bomb,

Earth would be in danger, will people be calm?

We’ll shout in terror, we’ll shout insurprise,

“The Earth is perishing before our eyes!”

No longer will we sit by the trees

In the nice, cool summer breeze.

Bombs and explosions are really bad,

But this is the biggest one we’ve had.

Did they make the bomb for money?

Or did they think it would be funny?

Didn’t they know they would break the joy

Of every human girl and boy?

Please send me a peace sign

Like a crane or dove

And Please send peace to the

Ones we love.
