The One Answer Poem by Idowu AdegbileroIwari

One world, numerous nations
Many people, umpteen races
Hues unending, infinite tongues
Diverse soils, different climates

Questions upon questions
Quizzical quirks quiz our brains
Over the queer occurrences
That leave us in a quandary

Seeking to solve the questions of life
War we raised to earn our peace in turn,
Acrimony and animosity rages on like a wild fire
Sovereignty, territorial integrity
Right for self-determination and defense,

Such words, resonate on our bloodstained lips
And the cordial rivalry, cold and hot wars alike
Superiority claims and counter-claims.
The exploits of science, the high ebb of research

Weapons of mass destruction, uranium enrichment
Nuclear arms, such are the words that put our world in a limbo
Measles of a missile for the masses of the earth
Fired from beneath the waters

Poured like hail stone from the wings of planes
Upon the earth, the rain of fire
Meeting upon meeting, league of lies
Armistice, ceasefire, disarmament and bans
Seeming answers but stirring the storm
The unity of the United Nations is once and again queried

In search of peace, justice is the path
But truth is the driver of justice
Rather love and seek same it is the mother of all
And the one answer to earth's onerous questions
