A Plea for Survival, 1970

Why do we have wars?
What are we fighting for?
Let all wars cease,
And let us have peace.


Why can't we have love?
What ever happened to the dove?
This plea may be late,
But why do we have hate?


We have wars all over this Earth,
None of them have any worth,
I wish people would stop and think,
If not, our ashes will be black as ink.


Why do people kill?
Every Tom, Dick, and Bill,
Don't use a gun or a knife,
But let people have life.


This is my plea,
Open your eyes and see,
We've got places to go,
Say yes to peace and not no!


Let's do away with our armed forces,
Scrap our cars and let's ride horses,
Let's not have enemies or rivals,
Because we have to have survival.


"Come on people now,
Smile on your brother,
Everybody get together,
Try to love one another right now."
