Peace Broke Out

 Peace broke out one morning.
The politicians didn't know what to think.
The tanks approaching the border
all stopped running and turned bright pink.

The guns quit firing bullets.
Nobody knew quite how,
but the only things they would discharge
were flags that read, "Bang!" and "Pow!"

The battlefield abounded with flowers
colorful and varied.
They sprang up in every spot
where a land mine had been buried.

Even the bombs and missiles
turned into birds and flew away.
The soldiers knew they were going home
and that nobody would die that day. - Jeff Barnes
