Seeds Of Peace

Mwalimu Wuod Mwalimu

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'.
