Slightly Topical Poem by Joyce Hemsley

Forget the fighting and the feuding
Save battle as a last resort.
The time has come for urgent dialogue
Using brain-power, as we ought.

Two thousand years have shown us how
Great years of history ~ read it now!
We are civilized...forget the gun
Use the brain 'and Thine will be done'.

What is the problem all about?
Nuclear bombs and the like are out.
Forget the hate of yesterday
Let 'brain-power' help us on our way.
