    Well, as part of the Peace One Day campaign, I've written a new poem. I'm dedicating it to the campaign and will be reading it out this Saturday at Norwich Fringe Festival to raise awareness.

    "Peace One Day"


    From the West Bank to East Berlin,
    Hiroshima to Ho-Chi-Minh,
    From the Boer War to East Timor,
    Kosovo to Alamo -
    Hear the children cry in pain,
    Turn the page, another stain –
    History book’s been written red,
    Another people, broken, bled,
    Another chance for peace –
    Dead.


    From Ypre’s fields to Stalingrad,
    Falklands to the old Yugoslav,
    From Afghanistan to Sudan,
    North Korea to Chechnya –
    Watch the poppies, trodden to mud,
    See the Tigris, run with blood –
    Another war begins to rage,
    Don’t be quick to turn the page –
    Change must come, come what may,
    Together we’ll look for another way,
    Together we’ll make peace,
    Peace One Day!
