In terra fiat pax?

Let there be peace on earth
but please do not sing that song.
It isn’t fit for Mass:
the style is completely wrong.
A broad schmaltzy anthem
in three-quarter time
with an oom-pah-pah rhythm
is not a work sublime.
Back in a summer camp
In ’55 it began
It’s not a sacred work
its focus is merely man.
It’s well-intended,
but good intentions
don’t make good liturgy.
In terra fiat pax
but don’t sing that song at me.

The origin of the song is described at http://www.jan-leemusic.com/.
