PEACETALK: It’s crisis, its war Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Flames up, body turning hashes Blood flowing on the ground Casualties in their numbers Lives lost, human cruelty at its peak Wailing loud, victims expressing agony. Its crisis, its war ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Few people crying, but all are victims Leaders not minding, it’s all about power Weapons mass producing, money is the target Body mass buried, its crisis, its war More wars, more weapons, more money --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After years of one conflict, it’s more conflicts waiting After one battle is halted, more battles on the way After conflict resolution, no conflict is ever resolved Peace building, conflict management, nothing is ever transformed. The quest for money and power, needs conflict to strive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Media enjoy it, it brings traffic Leaders orchestrate it, it brings attention Government fuel it, to show their power Masses enjoy it, it is sensational More crisis, more war, more death, more agony Sensation all the way --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blood of the innocent beneath our feet We walk, run and jump They wail in pains and cry When shall we get justice? The temple of justice responds Justice is not for free But only the rich can pay ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for the innocent blood that liter the ground Wash it, clean it, but yet, it remain unclean That pain may never go away Hey, did you hear that noise? Silent soul of the victims crying Their voice loud like thunder Tear flowing like river. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How do we console them? How do we comfort them? How do we empathize with them? How do we clean their tears? How do we make their life worth living again? Nothing can be done to take their sorrow away They are ghost, in human body. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If we cannot undo the damages we have done to them At least, let’s stop creating more people like them Abdulrazaq O Hamzat is a transformational peace professional, diplomatic human rights advocate, liberal author, diligent researcher and social media enthusiast.
