Only In Peace

I want to sip my kahawa with peace. I want to live in a hut overlooking Bud Tumantangis. I want to sit to write my sentiments on earth. I need breeze of swinging wind for peace. I need your help peace. I am wanting peace. I want to travel in the Sulu Sea with peace. I want independence, the answer of peace. I am not brave to face war. I need a courageous Tausug to defend peace. I only have an inch of crying faith. I need your help, oh peace. I am to die of my faith. I am to live with pride. I am to fight with sharp ink kalis. I want barung as my symbol of courage. I keep my budjak buried in Sulu earth. I want to live in peace. Only with peace! I love you peace. Layag Sug!
