PEACE ZIMBABWE PEACE



Peace!



My lover wrote me an sms
Hey babe can we have dinner tonight?
Candle lit,
Roses,
and whiskey!



Noo! I answered.
Tonight babe, and tomorrow
I just want Peace!



My daughter whispered in my ear
"Mummy, can I do your favourite coffee
and light a fire for our night reading
Before I throw the warm blanket on your bed?



Noo babe, Noo!
Not tonight babe
Not tomorrow either
I want one thing tonight
tomorrow, and forever
I want peace



I want peace in the voting queues
I want peace in the ballot boxes
Peace in the counting rooms
Peace in the meeting rooms
Yes Zimbabwe
Tonight, tomorrow and forever
Women demand Peace!
