PEACE a HAIKU

In spirit of poetry crossing all cultural boundaries,I will preset poem then translation.

Classic Japanese
                                        PEACE
                              Peace and calm prevail
                               Lending all contented lives
                              A goal to strive for

Southern "Redneck"
                                          PEACE
                                 Hey ya'll be cool now
                                 We'll go eat some grits and collards
                                 Then lay in the shade

Oh so Proper Brittish
                                           PEACE
                                  Oh! I say old bean
                                   If its not too much bother
                                   Please decrease volume

New Jersey or Bronx
                                           PEACE!
                                     Hey youse dumb mother
                                     Shuddup 'fore I bust your face
                                     Yeah I'm talkintayou!

Type A Personality
                                               PEACE
                                      Peace at any cost
                                      Long as I'm unaffected
                                      Who cares about you

Obama
                                                   PEACE
                                     Yes I am for peace
                                      Will appoint a peace czar
                                      It is not my fault

Arab Terrorist
                                                     PEACE?!?
                                        There will be no peace
                                        Until Great Satan is dead
                                        I will kill you now

Bill Clinton
                                                        PIECE
                                       Yes, I'd like that piece
                                        Is Moorehead her home town,Bud?
                                        No blue dresses please

Ozzy Osborne
                                                        PEESE
                                          Hey....uh...uh...Sharon
                                          Whut?...oh!...uh....Oh yeah....ah..uh
                                          Yeah man  uh...oh......dude!

Tommy Chong
