Words Have Failed Poem by Stephanie Apila

Words have not worked
The world is out of words
The rebel conveyors perished
We need another method
To end rebel deeds
Hence everlasting peace.


At least we've tried
The Governments have planned
NGOs have sensitized
Mothers have talked to sons
Did you quickly forget?
What the clergy did and got tired!

We need a clever method
To better the world
To liberate us off rebellious men
What could be trickier?
I am curious, I know I'm not alone
Enough of the talking!
