Weapons of Mass Destruction
Bloodshed all over! hear the noise of guns,
Alongside bomb explosions.
Demolition, devastation and plundering of property,
Ravaging, ruining and desolating nature,
Human mass slaughter, merciless torture
All in the name of peacekeeping,
All in the mad search for weapons of mass destruction.
Weapons of mass destruction are not in the crevices and dungeons of Iran and Iraq,
Weapons of mass destruction are in the heart.
Hatred is a weapon of mass destruction,
For a spoon in the hand of an enemy is much deadlier than a nuclear bomb in the hand of a friend.
Power hunger is a weapon of mass destruction,
Selfishness is a weapon of mass destruction.
Tribalism is a weapon of mass destruction,
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction.
Grudges are weapons of mass destruction,
Jealousy is a weapon of mass destruction.
Weapons of mass destruction are not made of metals and chemicals,
Weapons of mass destruction are not harbored in the armory of a country somewhere,
Weapons of mass destruction are in the heart.
It is selfishness, racism, tribalism, envy, grudges, jealousy and power hunger which made somebody to design a bomb.
It is not a bomb which causes somebody to hate,
But it is somebody who causes a bomb to hurt.
If you are against war, why are you against those who are against war?
If you really want to stop war in Africa, why sell us firearms?
Why sign the peace accord with the right hand while the left is holding a gun?
Violence begets violence, love begets love.
Bloodshed begets brutality, brutality begets force
Force begets cruelty, cruelty begets fighting
Fighting begets resentment and resentment begets a war.
You cannot correct a wrong with another wrong,
For two wrongs do not make a right.
You cannot stop war using war,
You cannot dig a pit to fill another pit
Sow love and reap love
We need devotion than bitterness, affection than animosity,
Adoration than antipathy, Emancipation than emaciation.
We are tired of freedom of doom, politics without principle
Signs without sovereignty, wealth without working for it,
Power without moral purpose, knowledge without truth
Truth without love, and love without truth.
All coming from a heart without love.
Guard the avenues of the heart than the banks,
Guard the avenues of the heart than boundaries and border posts,
For the heart is the source of all evil and all good.
This is a voice of concern, a voice of reason,
This is a voice of love, a voice of restoration,
This is the voice of *ngiroziyehondo*
