Imitation 2: Give Peace a Chance John Lennon

John Lennon's song Give Peace a Chance was a pro peace song originally written and played during Yoko Ono and Lennon's Bed-In honeymoon in 1969. A reporter asked Lennon the purpose of staying in bed and Lennon put it simply saying, "All we are saying is give peace a chance". He liked the phrase so much that he wrote a song around it, using it as the chorus. Lennon uses the repetition of the phrase to force a message he felt needed to be recognized. That war wasn't the answer, not Vietnam or anywhere else. There is internal rhyming in just about every line except the chorus and the final verse of the song. Despite this Lennon sends a clear message in the last verse. Lennon isn't singing the song alone but with his wife and many other pro peace protesters who he recognizes. This emphasizes the tone of the song which can only be described as togetherness. He's surrounded by people he loves and just wants everyone else to be as well. He uses lyrical poetry to try and get people to understand his message. The last way he does this is to have to the song repeat until the tape runs out. He wants the message to go out to just give peace chance.
