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.
