We lay <br />Forsaken in our misery <br />We prayed <br />For wants and needs <br />We knew <br />Our works should merit <br />We proclaimed <br />Our mission is peace on Earth <br />Men of Peace <br />Men of Peace today <br />We stand <br />With arms stretched to heaven <br />In thanksgiving to our lord <br />While we gawp <br />At the embers beneath the ashes <br />Left by the infernos in our neighbours’ cities <br />We spark <br />Chronicles of testimonies <br />In the holiest of tongues <br />It happened <br />And yet to them <br />Because they are… <br />Because we are… <br />Men of Peace?<br /><br />Benjamin Paa Willie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/men-of-peace-3/
