Video – One Poem for Peace : Aisha’s poem (Unicef program – EDL 2024)

Watch and read Aisha’s inspiring poem for World Poetry Day from her home in conflict-affected northern Nigeria.

The poem : LET PEACE BE OUR GUIDING CALL

The rocky mountains, and the fantastic views

Have all dimmed because of the dark fog.

All the cheers and the memories we saw

Have worn out like a piece of log.

In this world filled with chaos and strife

Let’s come together and change our lives.

With love and kindness as our guide,

Peace will bloom and hearts will collide.

Let’s embrace diversity,

Let differences unite,

For in unity we find strength and light.

Together we can build a world so grand

Where peace and harmony forever stand.

Spread compassion, let empathy flow

And watch as peace begins to grow.

In every action, big or small,

Let peace be our guiding call.

May peace prevail in every land.

Hand in hand, let’s make a stand.

With hope in our hearts,

We will find a way

To create a peaceful world, starting today.
