"SHARING LOVE IN DIRE TIMES" DAY 8

DAY  8

"Peace!
Just took a long walk like Jill Scott
A million voices throbbing her stillness, piecing the dots
Seeking for satisfying freedom from enraged contention
A bone that has clogged her throat stable with obsession"



PEACE CRIES



Peace!
Where is peace?
She is outside with her piece
Unhappy is the one written in her mind
She seeks for tranquil trailing from behind


Peace!
Just took a long walk like Jill Scott
A million voices throbbing her stillness, piecing the dots
Seeking for satisfying freedom from enraged contention
A bone that has clogged her throat stable with obsession


Peace!
Screams, begging beastly brother violence
For a treaty that ends war, an absolute credence
She preaches peaceful proverbs properly positioning purpose
Her echoing still small voice beckons all who blew her trombones


Peace!
Dies to walk these streets with bare feet
Tying strings from the north to the entire Nigerian sphere
She summons strong figures of speech to placate the repulsive gods
Whose grey horses has refused to drink from the pool with tender drops


Peace!
She cries daily in our blasts-ridden streets
When thousands unfed are silenced with death’s defeat
She wishes to be to be the pawn drawn by the paws of full resilience
Her vision is still bright in the darkness of calamity; relentless


Peace!
She frees your mind from backstabbing relics
Her presence clears the ominous dark sky in hysterics
The absence of her cannot mean war; she is no whore riding on the feeble
So, many who hold her hands on this road will feel her absolute piercing like a needle
