June 12

By Ibrahim Kegbegbe

Mr. Peace among the creatures has gone

Neither by any stabbing weapons nor by gun

The murderer has to traced to be caught

With much torture, he should be taken to court

After he had been locked up in a cell

But this complainer is going to market to sell

Even if he has money in bales

They can never be used for him to be bailed

Looking forward, I saw Mr. Peace’s sons

Even his daughters are all sun

Crying for their father to rise

But the unconcerned fanatics are fighting for rice

The dogs are weeping and ready to bark

Just for Mr. Peace to be back

Where are the cowardly rascals in 1993 on June 12!

The disciples with the Messiah were not more than 12

Ahmad, Nadar&co fought like the Twelvers

Their impacts brought democracy and the present national achievers

With Goodness, Precious, Peace, and Harmony
