Don't Start A Nuclear War (sent to the UN)

Don't start a nuclear war.

Think about the children

All the human children. 

 

Don't start a nuclear war

Please use all your spies

And each and every device

To not start a nuclear war

 

Please end all the wars

But not with nuclear bombs

Let love feel you like a light

And poetry like an art

 

You don't start a nuclear war

That's not what Earth is for

That's not what humanity's for

Don't start a nuclear war

​​​​​​​Don't start a nuclear war
