Poets' Corner
Peace
Nuclear power is cruel,
Dictatorship is cruel,
Where do these governments
want to go,
into the hell or somewhere?
What is peace?
Peace, this means a world
free of violence.
Where is peace?
In the hands of the military?
Oh, no!
I could cry of these terrible actions
of the human being!
Where do we go?
There are some ways of life
"the hell and the heaven"
The hell are the military and their weapons
I speak to you, people,
you have the right to have peace.
Only, if you have peace
you can get yourselves free.
The machine guns and the nuclear weapons
will destroy your life on this earth.
I tell you, oh Africa,
become free!
Oh Africa, I love you so much.
From my heart I wish you
the peace on earth.
