Call for Retreat by Gabriel Timileyin Olajuwon (Paperback) — Lulu IEar.
Here is the title poem from the new book:

Call For Retreat

On the hill far away, he calls
Letting the trumpet blow he recalls.
To the surviving victims he calls
And he let the whistle blow for a recall.
Letting all that are hailing retreat
He let the whistle be repeated.
For the coming end of defeat.
Listen O’ ye victims,
Hasten to my voice O’ ye warriors,
Let not your heart be bonded inside these cages of war
Never let our corpse be buried in war
Thus, the horn should blown for retreat
In this we shall not suffer any defeat
But let the peace reside once more Listen,
O’ ye soldiers, armed up to the teeth
withhold all thy weapons of war
Return home for the sake of thy families
And O’ ye that are still hailing
Assist the surviving victims
You shall go your way and I will go mine
That peace may dwell securely on our way
Residing in all our homes!
