Peace, that invisible dove

The year ends with a bang,

It's but the same old gang,

The gang of bang-bang-bang!

 

War sparks shoot once again,

Death strikes before it's ten,

Stiff and cold grow the men

Who shoot again, again.

 

Peace, invisible dove,

Caught in death's ugly glove,

Love caught in the closed glove:

May we say peace is love?

If so, open the glove!
