Stop the planes and the shells for a smile on a child's face. Stop all the army vehicles for a smile on a child's face. Stop everything that kills and destroys for a smile of happiness on a child's face. It is a wicked bird that never comes to rest. It is a deadly bird that destroys our homes, and deprives us of our child- hood.
War is the evilest of birds, turning the streets red with blood, and the world into an inferno.
If I were President, the tanks would be playhouses for the kids. Boxes of candy would fall from the sky. The mortars would fire balloons. And the guns would blossom with flowers. All the world's children would sleep in a peace unbroken by alerts or by shooting.
