D R E A M T I M E My dream is peace Man's ambition sad Bent on self destruction All wars must cease The world's gone mad Let killing mayhem stop Peaceful coexistence Mutual respect and love Is this a pipe dream Commanded from above So it would seem Bombs bullets blast Women children raped shot One asks for what Soldiers act with brutality Necessity or ghastly reality But it has been so From time immemorial The new millennium Surely time for change A new beginning The choice is ours To live in peace Or perish in wars Lionel Robinson July,1999 robo@intercoast.com.au
