Wouldn’t it be nice

If all the fighters in all the world

Put down their weapons

And went home

If they beat their swords into ploughshares

And their spears into pruning hooks

If they took apart their guns

Abandoned their bombs

Repurposed their tanks and recycled their planes

Governments couldn’t fight wars

If they had no armies to send

Why doesn’t everyone just stop

And go home

Would that be so hard?
