Twisted Pistol

                                 Zenebe Tamirat

Twisted pistol shoot not the bullet

Scatter not the poison, in in the barrel of

 your chest

Drop the bullet!

Stay twisted and remain offset:  At the UN,

We are in devotion:

United to fight poverty instead of a nation against nation,

United to fight disease instead of humans against humans

We are united to fight ignorance,

So, twist away and do not bother us.

If you remain twisted,

slaughter, sabotage, and war shall be assaulted

Terrorism shall be battered,

Peace shall reign upon our beautiful planet,

And that is what the UN is about,

To blossom peace and prosperity to mankind,

To bequeath pleasure of the mind,

So, twisted pistol, twist away from our forehead,

Twist away from our chest,

When you twist, we shall be safe and relieved!

And that is what the UN is about; to relieve mankind from destructions,

Of war, natural calamity and man-made obstructions,

Anti-war, Anti- draught, pro-peace

Heading forward to please

That is what is all about the United Nations,

So, Twisted pistol,

Do not ramble and rattle,

Shoot not the bullets in your barrel,

Let peace reign, let peace dwell.

Forever, and ever, Amen!
