Peace Poem by Terry Donovan

One day the world will be a place of peace,
Tranquility and calm will fill the air,
Hostilities, mistrust and global greed will cease
And none will be the rulers anywhere.

No bombs will dropp to shatter land and life,
No tanks will trample frontiers anew,
No children growing knowing only strife,
No discontent to satisfy the few.

No troops will stamp their politicians' feet
While dying for they're never quite sure what
Where battlefields were once a quiet street
Until excuses satisfied the plot.

The elements will live but won't know why
One day when there is no-one left to die.
