ARSENAL FAN


Once beaten,

Twice shy.

The child a snake has ever bitten,

Fears when a worm says, Hi!

Wishing it never passed by,

Lifting his feet this time high.


Once a gunner,

Twice a loser.

Only the fool's ball is trodden twice,

African proverbs prove not otherwise.


Always a fan,

When it's time for support.

But failure to run,

When walking limits your effort,

Only makes your strides pun.


Yet true heroes,

Don't bow to zeroes.

They conquer with rubber bullets,

Even though perceived harmless.

The heart baked in fire,

Tells the mind not to retire.


The one who doesn't give up,

Would always help you get up.

If nothing is achieved at all,

The F.A cup is a boost after all.

With a malleable unbroken heart,

Each season is often a new start.


If need be for anything perpetual

Should you need a partner eternal

In times of climatic hot weather

I suggest nothing better

Than a simple ceiling fan.

If patience is a marriage virtue

Then what I would always pursue

Is to marry an arsenal fan.

DREAMSCAPE

An experience of a walking life; Or thoughts of the day in motion at night, Flowing peacefully in spirit like a kite. Awaiting an Estimated Time of Arrival, In your heart’s own built terminal. You woke up from the thunderous snore, Just to realize you were in a slumber. But you vividly remember; The realities you did encounter, And how beautiful it was that you saw. So you shared your story in the morning, While you were still yawning. Yes you shared; With people of like-mindedness. And boom! you are a hit; A one time wander, Now a lifetime wonder, With whom everyone wants to sit, But your dreams, don’t let them plunder. You are now a champion, So go ahead my companion. Go ahead with that plan; Store as many as you can, If it can’t be frozen, just get it canned.

MY FIRST EID al-FITR

Being born in a Medina community,  Gave me the zeal to help humanity, Not for their lack of man's basic need, But for the luck that I now have people to feed. Seldom did I take part in Islamic activities, For the idea of the zongo hostilities. Yet, As long as I grew with their husbands, I realized not all sad news is created by their hands. It's only a notion that each child is assumed to have played in the sands. With my encounter with the second Sheikh of the land, Islam in focus was what thought me the goodness in Islam's demand. The rhetoric is only an iota of truth in each religion, That there is a "Mensah" in each tradition. I played with Abdul after my Sunday school, And ate with Aisha each break at school. Sometimes Sheikh himself took us out to the pool, Don't fight was his only golden rule. Amelia would bring my mum a basket of food, And I cannot forget the symbolic aroma that flies in all their meals. Eve...

The EID of men

I was born in a Madina community,  Where needs were not priority but just wants, Yet those who had to help said they can’t. And that gave me the zeal to help humanity, Not for their lack of man's basic need, But for the luck that I now have people to feed. Seldom did I take part in Islamic activities, For the idea of the zongo hostilities. Yet, As long as I grew with their husbands, I realized not all sad news is created by their hands.
