Peace Be Still Poem by Dr Anthony Onoja

We all grow up with wings of tattered hopes
Shrouded with memories of how our elders failed us
Among the landscape of lower Greenland
Where the angry man is cheered a hero of vanity
The best actors were known for lust for Eves
Love slip passed the bound of lucidity
There brevity were conceived in shame of nightfall
In the land where we came from
The land where men's fury knew no end
We remember them now in the great beyond
The land where darkness abound it coast
The quietness of the grave calls for more
This place where their fury brought them so low
The grave is not a finest place to abound
Nor we think, they found rest in the dark
Live lets live, life is priceless
Peace be still, lets live in peace
Then when we are long gone in days to come
We shall at last rest in peace
