Subject: RE: BS: Putting our minds and hearts together
I thought about this a while ago and came up with this ..............
PEACE IN OUR TIME
Peace in our time The politicians said But since that time How many millions dead And when the bombs fall from the sky And when we hear the bullets fly How often will we here the cry For peace in our time
Peace in our time Thats what the children heard Peace in our time And they believed the word Yet nations still prepare for war Breaking God and Nature's law How many more will die before There's peace in our time
Peace in our tine Thats the dream to hold Peace in our time Before we grow old An end to all hostility So everyone on Earth is free To live their lives in harmony With peace in our time.
note ... 'Peace in our time' were the words used by Neville Chamberlaine, the Prime Minister of the UK, on returning from negotiating with Adolf Hitler in 1939. Weeks later Germany invaded Poland and Britain declared war.
