Call For Peace

Recriminations take the backstage,
Angry words pushed down the drain,
Hate speeches take the exit door,
Let not my words be misconstrued,
Ask for me to throw more light on dark areas,
I might have stepped on your toes, 
I ask to be pardoned, 
I was only expressing my feelings.

Let’s come together,
Let love flow without pretence,
Let’s speak the truth in love,
Let’s make room for one another besides,
Weave a web of true fellowship around,
Entrench brotherliness 
despite the barriers that abound,
It’s a world of complexities and perplexities,
We have to row against the tide,
It’s a place deeper than we can view,
Let’s maintain our balance
 as the unexpected unfolds.

Like colours,
 We can complement one another,
Let’s weave our fabric
 together and make a colourful piece,
Let’s integrate our cultures,
Foster a home for all,
Our ideas pooled together
 to surmount any problem, 
No weapon of mass destruction,
No test run for its escape flight.
