Drop That Weapon Poem by Bamisaye Adeniran

We’ve not come this far to seize our lives
We’ve not come this far to be against one another
Our heroes never laid this example
Let’s withdraw from this unholy path we’ve embraced.

Let’s Drop this weapon and embrace peace
Let’s come together as one, in unity
And embrace one another with a pat on the back
And live together just the way our four fathers did.
.
We should uphold the strength in our diversity
In the name of the one who created us
Let’s Drop this weapon
And uphold our unity.

We are one regardless of our diversity
Let’s respect one another regardless of our affinity
Let’s together sing that song of unity just like we did in the past
We can make it happen my brothers and sisters.

This is our home, our father land
One nation bound in freedom
Let’s not become refugees in our fatherland
I plead in the name of the one you serve, DROP THAT WEAPON.
