White (PEACE)

Poem By Aliyu Yakubu Ahmadu,

They set the fire and hide
Killing both you (Christians) and I (Muslims)
We listen to all tricks and lies
Painting black the colours in our minds
Unsure of the person by your side

They set the fire and hide
Killing both you and I
In retaliation we fight
Yet we clap and bow
To what is divine (God)
Our acts are not in line

Who sets the fire and hide?
Is it you (Muslims), me (Muslims) or us (politicians)
One day the smoke will subside,
And their identity fired.
Till then...
Let's put our guns aside
And paint our minds with the colour white!!!
