Life Without Fear

There's hardly a place in the world where there's peace,
Where no-one needs hope that the violence will cease,
And they can get on with their lives without fear,
And not wake up thinking that death might be near.
Nearly all would agree, with no room there for doubt,
Life would be so much less stressful without
The all-present worry that violence entails,
The feeling of nervousness which never fails
To keep them on edge, while under the threat
Of suffering the fate that so many have met.
Life lived in peace would be so much more fun,

Untroubled by threats from the bomb, knife or gun.
