THE PEACE WE NEED

2 min read

BY G. NAIH PETER

 

The sky is dark,

Everything is dry,

Everywhere is a cry,

For peace to exist,

The peace we need.

We’ve signed agreements,

But they have remained

In papers and no gain,

‘Twas all disappointments,

‘cause it isn’t the peace we need.

Here we are stranded,

No rains and food,

Just rumors not understood,

Peace is around and cornered,

That’s still not the peace we need.

The peace we need,

Must be brought back,

We must all not be stuck,

Yes! Sixty four of us indeed,

Must be part of the peace we need.

Gatwech must be more of just a friend

To Deng and Wani,

So do Obach and other friends like me,

Brotherhood for us all,

Is the peace we need.

The peace we need,

Must bring us good,

Yes! We must all be together,

Because that’s what’s better,

For that’s the peace we need.
