Another kind of peace

Corruption and plunder
Selfishness and murder,
Striking our communities so fast like thunder,...
One after the other.
Bad vices taking over our communities and nation ,...
One wonders

Politicians, fighting for power and control against one another,
Stirring up rage and anger
With their so called cadres...
Our nation , slowly heating up like a sauna...


Communities are fighting over land,
Confusion has become the order of the day,
What happened to looking out for each other?
Some just need a helping hand.


Slowly falling apart,
Story of mother Zambia...
What happened to the harmony, the calmness and composure??
The agreement of a ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION?.
We are supposed to be a Christian nation.

Peace is not only the absence of war......
It is the absence of pride, envy, selfishness and anger.

It is the effort of trying to restructure the sentences that our lives are making,
The spirit of love , forgiveness and most of all togetherness..


Our newspapers arrive with careless stories,
Filling up those front pages, the media today are just hungry for publishing catchy stories...
They run around to put some news on air, that's all that matters, after all, at the end of the day, they are getting paper....

As a nation,
Peace is to be so much as a culture,
More than a tendency, peace should be like a tradition.....

For the sound of nature is not heard anymore,
The rhythm that soothes the soul.
As everything that happens today is poignant.

In our country there shall be peace,
Only when conflicts totally cease,
Instead of politicians blaming each other for being wrong,
Why can't they just learn to get along....?

Peace is something we mutually share,
For it is just and fair....
Don't just sit there and stare
Because most of all,
peace begins with you and me.......
