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.
