Floods Of Peace

John Kibira Gakoko

with our own naked eyes we have seen
floods of aversions
floods of hunger
floods of blood
floods of cries
floods of fears
floods of fires
floods of waves and winds and widows
floods of wars
floods of tears
floods of ophans
floods of quakes
floods of refugees
when shall we too see floods of peace
