Enough Is Enough, Let's Stop This Violence! by VoiceofanInk(m): 5:07pm On Nov 26, 2013 |
Have u ever been hit by the magnitude of death violence, mostly senseless and baseless, has caused especially in our 'mother-land', Nigeria? Do you know what it means to loose family members, relatives and friends 'cause some asinine gun-trigger chaps decide to vent their anger on humanity for no just reason? With the poem below, I start my campaign against violence in Nigeria and in the world. This effort may not go far to achieve the desired result but however you view it, that is how it would turn out to be. We can join hand, rather, poetic muse in unity and fight against violence. Cheers. I hope for a day in my father's land When I hold my head high up in the sky And be proud to be called Nigerian. I hope for a day in my mother's land When I'll be treated equally By my neighbours next door. I hope for a day in my place of birth When I can go up north Without fear for my life. A day when my fellow brothers Would discover the purpose of their existence And drop their arms in reminiscence A day when we'll all leave the battle field To return to the fruitful field And sow seeds of national development. A day when the pot-bellied men Would return to their farms And their canoes. I hope for a day The colour of my skin Would not matter to my people On that day, My religion would barely be noticed On that day, My foreign alma mater wouldn't matter On that day, There would be hope for all That day would put an end to violence And corruption. A day we'll all say Shalom! For more poems (non-necessarily anti-violence) kindly visit: http:///lx3ffp5 (source) |
