Give Peace a Chance
Jude


All I can say

Give peace a chance

All we want

Give peace a chance

Starving in Darfur

Give peace a chance

Squalor in China

Give peace a chance

War in Iraq

Give peace a chance

Killing for the oil

Give peace a chance

Killing for Democracy

Give peace a chance

Killing ‘cause we can

Give peace a chance

Give peace a chance, give peace a chance,
All we are saying
Is give peace a chance

“We all have a little Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So, why not give peace a chance, for once?” ~John Lennon
So, yeah, this is a poem based off a John Lennon song of the same name. The quote at the bottom is my favorite Lennon quote ever. So, yeah.

You know, usually, when I write stuff, I do it for English class because I have to. This is the first thing that I've done in a while that I just randomly decided to do. Although, I may use it for English class. I know that I'll submit it to the school literary magazine.

I allow :iconbeatlefreaks: and all the other clubs I am in, and whoever else wants to use it, to submit this in their gallery.

Actually my Lit profesor brought in the actual song to go with these lyrics. It's pretty catchy.
