COME...QUIETEN YOUR SOULS(TO ALL LOVERS OF PEACE)

.. COME...QUIETEN YOUR SOULS

(Dedicated to the peace of our Caribbean Nations)

And so, I quieted, my weary soul

Raging, for the senseless-loss of life:

Dispirited young men-

Shackled by searing variables

' Midst poor parenting-strife:

So... I quieted, My Soul.

O fissured nations; Leave negative alleys

That bid you:Ugly your souls.

Leave bathos' din-

Batten down, tempting sins.

Yield not, your sacred-treasured dowry:

Come... Quieten, Your Soul.

And so I quickened, my prayers

And bade angels, to stand by-

No! Hasten,,,Quickly!

We need you, by our sides.

Come Cherished-Beings; Bolster, we betide:

That We May...Quieten Our Souls.

No subtle evils: No fears

No fertile doubts.

O placidly now...Sweet-Love, envoke.

Come, come now:

Come...Let Us, Quieten, Our Souls.
