Lagu Damai

Sahabat
rawatkan jiwaku yang luka
dengan nyanyi puisimu
yang syahdu

lukaku mungkin takkan
sembuh
puisimu bisa mengenalkan kita
pada diri dan alam
juga Pencipta

dendangkan sahabat
lagu damaimu
kerana di sudut sana
gendang perang telah bergema

kita sama-sama
senandungkan keharmonian
tiada lagi anak kecil ditembak di dada
tiada lagi anggota tubuh bercerai
hancur berselerakan
atau kulit yang melekat di dinding
bahana ibu segala bom

bukankah kita khalifah
dengan pelbagai kepandaian
menyelesai kekusutan
