"PEACE" – The Lagosian Magazine

By Rasheedat Ajakaye Strida

Peace is when your eyes are glued
to only the road that leads to your destination.

Peace is when the topics that interest you
are simply those that are unique and not just seeking likes.

Peace is the ability to give value to yourself
at no one’s expense but your sweat.

Peace is the satisfaction you derive
in being productively reserved as a wolf.

Peace is willingness to give as you wish,
erasing expectations from the ‘objects’ of your grammatical action.

Peace is the gift of observing situations,
and sieving your remarkable role without being told.

Oh ye Peace!
Did you not tell me how personal you are?

Peace is as personal as breathing air,
it is never owed or given by one creature to another.

Just as the presence of the sky is never fought for,
peace is not a competition to be won.
