Drums Of War Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Those who witness war before
Never dreamt of another one
Those who have not see any crisis
Yearn to go to wars
Those who beat the drums of wars
Do not wait to hear the sound
Not to talk of dancing to it
Those who strike the gong of wars
Are afraid to be killed at battle
Drums of wars are beaten by few instrumentalists
When the full war begins
War mongers fizzle out
Leaving the masses to perish
Tear the drums and gong now
Let us have our peace
