Peace On Earth
Hearts hankers for true peace
earthly peace a dry season drizzle
coming suddenly then it vanishes
even the little evaporates like fog
Hearts yearn for peace made in heaven
knees are corroded in prayer and retreats
Humans raise hands to God in the skies
yawning like hungry goats on verandahs
This world of contested angry peace
celebrates peace when guns are silent
City of God still hopes against hope
that one day Emmanuel will come again
The world needs true peace to reign
Man-made peace is as fragile as straw
