In The Search Of Peace Poem by Idowu AdegbileroIwari

To earn peace we learn war
Security we crave, rescue we call
And rather to defend, further we offend
Even as we battle to settle the scramble for living

We fickle, we fall
Remonstrating the compromise of our aged values
Romancing the Union to rob a rest
Keeping mum on the hell of a matter

To say the truth is to stand alone
Stand alone and risk the terror like the twin of a tower
Perhaps the key to peace is placed with the crowd
Above and below, these we do to earn the vagrant peace

Honest lies of brokered truce
Hostile love, feigned faith
Until we respect ourselves as man and the blood in us
Peace will be far away from reach
