Peace
There is a name for war and killing.
There is a name for giving in.
There is another name for war.
The name is sin.
There is still time to turn things around.
Make all hatred cease.
Give another name to living.
Call it peace.
John Denver
1982
Peace
My poor baby.
Daddy loved you so.
Gun are roaring loud and near.
I have prayed to the Gods for peace.
I asked Jesus to protect the child.
I pray to the Great spirit of life to bring wisdom to our leaders.
I sat and prayed yesterday with a Muslim man.
We cry together for the death of so many.
Then we pray together for peace.
I stood in the great valleys and asked for help.
I pray to the sea for peace and calm.
Men believe they are safe when war is far away.
When war is the purpose of a great land.
War is always near.
My baby.
War is man’s great sin.
His hunger to control and show no kindness.
It is greed and hate.
Borders may separate countries.
But with each death in war.
A flame of life is lost.
Could the flame put out by hate and violence.
Been the spirit to lead us away from our hatred and greed.

Touch my heart
John Denver hit the meaning of peace and war properly in his poetry and music. Thank you for reading.
This is a powerful poem, and all too true. I never have and never will understand War.
When I was young being raised up in the Vietnam era. I thought war was norm. It is sad when peace is never spoken about and cries of war are loud and strong. I pray for peace for all children in our world.
Loved the way you’ve fed your child how to find God in different religions…
Peace & Light
Religion is not the problem of our world. Men who use religion as a tool for hate is the problem. Verses in all the powerful religions that state. Respect other people beliefs and set the example. No-one want their child to die in war or because of war. I’m old and I worry for what is left for the young? Thank you for reading. I do appreciate.
A gripping and heartfelt poem and the picture is adorable!
Did you listen to the John Denver video? He spoken words and song are more needed today then when he said them. Thank you for stopping by and reading. I do appreciate.
