  Poem By DR. MRS TITANJI nee LIMA BEATRICE LEBSIA Peace! Peace! Peace on every lip yet so far away, Peace on the lips of the politician who is away? The priest and the laity sing and preach peace anyway, In our homes we say it, discuss it, and wish for it, peace and peace. Our hearts have longed for four years running and yet no peace? When we look for peace, we find it, that sweet peace lies in us The perfect peace we seek daily, the peace we cherish lies in us Peace cannot come alone, we need LOVE, show it! Peace is not hard to find when you seek it ’cos it’s in you, Peace is in you as it is in me; let’s pass it on to the next, Pass it on as you smile, touch, hug and touch the next. Who is the next to me? Is it I, she or he who sits next to you? Smile we say is contagious, contaminate me if you can, ‘cos I need peace, I’ll do same to you ‘cos I know you need it too, we need just sweet peace, Are you a friend or a foe, “Surely not I ‘cos I smile when I see you. Peace cannot come alon
