Cry,seek peace,
Shout to save a life
From strife's decrease,
Tears flow for rodents
Invading hearts,
Flowers trampled
By hate's fiery darts.
Weary of the divisive politics,
Allergic to the borders
That wars engage,
Sondu the land
Once a hub of commerce's lifts,
Now a battlefield,
hearts in disdain.
Highlands and flatlands,
The enmity lives
Bows and arrows launched,
Hurl from highland heights,
Catapults soaring
From Lake Victoria's shore,
Communal rifts sprout
With renewed spites,
As political indifference
Breeds hate once more.
Seeds of hatred, dormant,
Now awake,
Hatred germinates,
Corroding like rust,
Affecting the petals
Of the peace flower,
Fed by indifference
They cause hearts to break,
Cry not for violence,
But peace to ensue,
Then 'us aim for goodness
Always in our Do's
Funerals no longer
To mourn the fallen,
Let justice and unity
be our callin'.
