World Peace

ENTRY for LUANES WORLD PHOTO CONTEST.

 

'Peace' said the dove, 'please heed my call

And follow wherever I fly,

Then the land shall be filled with the song of love

And no more shall have to die.'

 

'War! ' said the crow, 'don't listen to him

Let us feed on the dead on the ground,

For the song of love is a song unheard

Let us listen to the cries all around.'

 

'Fight! ' yelled the hawk with a deafening cry

'For they stole all our trees and our land,

And they ruined our world in which we live

With a cruel and uncaring hand.'

 

'No' said the thrush, 'for I long to hear

All the songs that we used to sing,

Before they were drowned by the battle's roar

Let us fly with the dove on the wing.'

 

'Yes' said the finch, 'I agree with you

Let the world hear our songs once more,

Let us sing now for peace just as loud as we can

In the hope we can end this war.'

 

So peace won the day and the birds did sing

Till the soldiers began to hear,

Then one by one they did lay down their arms

And the smoke then did slowly clear.
