A Family That Gained Peace

Long time ago; in an African land In a house whose walls with fine flannelette sheets Whose roof was well made A house whose floor was well tiled Lived a family that known no peace A family that uttered disgusting terms That could be described by all bad and negative oeuvre Members so hostile and selfish to each other Same people very harmless and poltroon It was a family that known no peace And now the villagers so tired of it Many fasted and prayed for it;maybe it was a spiritual issue Elders gave them infallible advice and cautions And a glimmer of hope was seen And that was a family that known no peace Rate of libido decreased among the sons Hearts now decorated with pompom And their old behaviours were becoming a stale So wise as they were; one word was enough for them And that was a family gaining peace Change was becoming a manner; the East met West As they now hugged each other with love Holding each other's hands like a handrail I stood at a distance watching them break their smiles into tears It was a family that gained peace
