Fighting For Peace?

Goldfinch60



We hear them so often

Those words to try and stop wars,

To fight for peace.

The Hippies had it right,

Make Love Not War,

Or Lennon when he said

Give peace a chance,

As fighting for peace

Is like fucking for chastity!

      It's nutty.
      Like one who said 'I'm a man of peace; and if anyone doesn't agree with me, I will punch them on the nose'. Doh!

      • Goldfinch60

        Very true Orchi, thank you.

          Can you guess who said it? A 'religious' man. No surprise really, if you do guess it. I wouldn't put it past him.

          War is just part of the deal.The saddest part.

          • Goldfinch60

            Quite likely but it is such a shame David.
