It's Time For Ceasefire Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

In the midst of chaos and despair,
A plea for peace fills the air.
Lives and properties, lost in vain,
We cry, 'No more, let ceasefire reign! '

This war has gnawed at our very core,
Consuming hearts, leaving us sore.
Now is the time, to lay down our arms,
To heal the wounds, and mend the harms.

Let reason prevail, let wisdom guide,
In this moment, let hatred subside.
For in unity, we find our strength,
To build a future, devoid of torment.

Let the guns fall silent, let peace take flight,
In this ceasefire, we find new light.
May compassion bloom, may love endure,
As we embrace a world that's pure and secure.

Together, we rise, with hope in our eyes,
For now is the time, for ceasefire skies.
Let us forge a path, where peace abides,
In this moment, where love resides.
