Practical Way to

Peace

Adenekan Abdul Ganiyy A. // SSS 3D
General Secretary, GCI Press Club (2020/2021)

At this time and age
We need no sage
To tell us we are in bondage

Which we musn’t attack with rage
Else, it will cause damage
Which cannot be managed

We labour after profit, salary, or wage
Which are the burdens in our luggage
But we have it taken as the main package.

If you ever visit the orphanages,
There, you shall see both infants and teenagers
Looking hopeless at the frontages.

This life is a bookpage
After everything, it becomes garbage
That ends up in the bins cage

What we need is courage
To redeem our image
Else, our efforts might be savaged

God speaks in plain language
In order to pass the message
For our own advantage

Let’s file out of our cottage
Supported by our entourage,
Peace our only sage!
To effect a positive change.

Let’s take into consideration this adage
And put this advice into usage
For it not to go down, through the drainage.
