We pray for peace.
Peace in homes, schools
Peace for the whole world
Without peace' there is fear.
We are tired of social problems;
Child sacrifices, robberies, killings
We are not animals.
To be slaughtered.
We need protection.
From all forms of crimes
For, with love and care.
Our community will shine
We thank the army and the police.
For controlling crimes in the community.
Allowing us to enjoy ourselves.
In the world that God created.
Najjemba Ruth
