Thump In The Rhythm Of Peace Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Oh, how I wish I could describe the sound of music
The sound of marimba that sends souls gyrating on the dance floor in ecstasy
Even the thumping sounds of peace
The agony in the song of freedom
The scream in the strings of freedom marchers
I wish I could understand the deep pain in the drumbeat of war
Oh, I would that I put together a symphony of peace and love
Mothers' ululations of joy that permeate the horizons of hate and war
Correcting the discord in the governance choir
We will not allow them to play off tune again
