Msira Peace Poem by Kimberly Burnham

Msira Peace



The Bura dictionary entry starts
with smoking iron
"msirakùr" chunk of iron to be smelted
and moves on to more pleasant smells
"msira" pleasant tasty delightful
staying with this theme "msira"
also means "friendly
friend peace kindness
as if one can change everything
by changing the ending
"msira" also means to get loose
but not only to save one's self
"msiranta" to release loosen
set free
help and rely on others
"msirantədzi" to be released
as if there can not be peace
and delight without freedom
in this Nigerian language
