Peace > VictoryA Poem by Alvin L. Kathembe
Cutex kwenye pinky -
Ni duty, si beauty. We throw our V’s in the air ‘Cause peace is a win for all of us; Peace > Victory. So even as we prepare To usher in a new year of jubilee; Remember to remain cordial. Elections come, elections go Aardvarks stand, and termites vote For the anteater with the shortest snout. They promise us the moon, the earth, and the firmaments They pretend they’re like us - wolves in sheeps’ garments Do you really believe that the masquerade is permanent For you to shed your blood for some f***ers in Parliament? Raise your V to the sky We are one tonight - You’ve already won If you elect not to fight So when the fuss is up And their promises are history You realize; Peace is the only victory… © 2015 Alvin L.
