Dear “peace”
Through the tears,
We know we started reasoning with our guns,
Instead of peaceful means,
We let all we built for years go down the drain,
–
Dear”peace”
We badly need you,
We have loss more than we have build in years,
The disables,orphans,widows,homeless,
Are now drenched in tears,hunger,
–
Dear”peace”
We admit we were fools,
Fighting a stupid war of the seat,
Now at night whenever we hear a sound of a gun,our heart race fast,
Tears dripping our eyes as there soaks the pillows,
–
Dear”peace”
People die everyday,
Our economy has drown,
Our currency has lost its value over” Dollar”
Our cattle keepers are raids daily,
Businesses have collapse,
Children and the less fortunate die daily due to lack of good hospitals,
Children are at home due to lack of schools,
–
Dear”peace”
Please visit us soon,
So that we don’t loss more lives,
Our economy gets stable,
Our currency can be of value to us,
Cattle keepers could peacefully graze their cattle,
Farmers could happily cultivate their farms,
The sick could get better healthcare,
We could develop our country and the unemployed
could get employed,
Dear”peace your are all that we need.
