Out into the dark they went to serve
To love, to share, and to care
Unknowingly they trod the path that no one dared
Straight into the captor’s hidden snare.
Blindfolded, handcuffed, and mauled were they
Holed up in a dark, stingy, smelly room
Pleaded and prayed for a grain of mercy
Knowing not the impending doom.
“Eye for an eye, blood for blood”, the captor’s cried
They wanted to free their men, holding lives at stake
“Shoot we will, one by one”, warned they
If the government did not quickly wake.
Minutes and hours flew by and by
Patience and perseverance now had failed
Peace didn’t find in their hearts a room
Out came the guns, and lives just went boom----boom.
23, 22, and now 21
Let’s pray for their safe return
Let’s hope the martyrs did not die in vain
Let peace prevail—let there not be another Abel and Cain.
LET PEACE PREVAIL.
