The Burn of Peace

Who craves to consume it scorched?

Who wants to eat the burn of peace?

The bell is alarming but no baker cares

Worldly peace cries from hell in vain;

Who wants to eat the burn of peace?

Who wants it scorched ?


She is crying loud in Iraq and Syria

Her alarm is loud in Ukraine and Gaza

Her burn falling in Nigeria and Kenya

Worldly peace cries from hell in vain

Who wants to eat the burn of peace ?

Who wants it scorched?


Ash is burn, tear is here;

The cold ash of peace is sulphur ignited

Burning like furnace for iron and steel

Who is smoking cricket in cotton field ?

Who wants to eat the burn of peace ?

Who wants to eat it scorched?


Worldly peace cries from hell

She is crying loud in Iraq and Syria

Her alarm is loud in Ukraine and Gaza

Her burn falling in Nigeria and Kenya;

Who wants to eat it  scorched?

Who wants to eat the burn of peace ?

There should be some easier way of finding peace without all of the violence, war, and death. Maybe, all of mankind will realize that someday, and this earth can finally be a peaceful place to live in.... Congrats on your win, Kayode! A great write!

Humanity is raped in this world. The beasts of hell are let loose on the peace loving people. Peace is genuinely scorched. Atrocities must be stopped. The message of the hour. Well written. Kudos to you KAYOD5. Love.
