At Peace With War

It was said, 
in times of peace 
prepare for war --
peace, indeed, allows 
the most opportune 
time

to build and install 
missile silos, massive 
arsenals, to commit 
and justify a mighty 
state's war 
crime!

At Nightfall

When this time, foul up and dull, passes away.
When all contrivances light untangle.
When the grave-digger is himself entombed.
	Where’ll your hiding place be?
	Stock your arsenals,
	Store your bullion,
	Mere matters they’ll become.
When the earth’s table turns,
When its element is burnt,
When its clock strikes its last,
	I will quietly lie
	And stir no more.
	Perhaps, we’ll wake
	into a new day.

THROUGH THIS VESSEL

Remnants remain, of a once vibrant passion
Scars bear witness of the abrasion
The  cracks are  but  an  indication, of the wars fought
For  a  quest  to  find  that  which  was being sought

Ruins still stand of a majestic castle, that which was a haven of loyalty
The echoes from these rusty arsenals, proclaims the souls that fell casualty,
From the silent wars that claimed a pound of flesh.

We'll unfold our verses

If everything’s been written
And everything been said
We won’t speak anymore
Won’t write anymore.
But if we are the new prophets
Sent to remind manhood
The world belongs to God
And if the world drowns off
In the mud of inky well
And scribes and Pharisees
Roar in the vanities
Then we’ll still howl our dreams
Writing down all our visions
And against their arsenals
We will unfold our verses.

Why Is the Human Race Trying To Extinguish Itself

Why with the
proliferation of nuclear arsenals
of a global scale
it seems as if
it's inevitable.
Someone eventually
has to drop
another nuclear bomb.
It appears that
it's only a
matter of time.
Why else would
there be so many
scattered around the earth?
Not to mention
all of the Wars
that continue on & on.
You would think
that human kind
would smarten up
and put an end
to all these atrocities.

Demise of Humanity

DEMISE OF HUMANITY

Among the lethal weapons,
are callous calculations,
happiness in my land
home of the hospitality,
Image of those arsenals!

They're meant for humans.
civilization has been corrupted;
Long before nuclear weapons,
but with a single strike,
civilization will be wiped off

The land we plough,
the soil we till all day,
Assiduity is our watchword.
Civilization was born by Africa,
In our hand it blossoms.
