WELL DESERVED




Whatever we live for
Be it pun or euphemism
Perhaps a mere metaphor
No matter one's fetishism 
Nothing is worth dying for

The hay we make even on holiday 
And the hive we craft per se 
Will definitely pay off someday 
Maybe not immediately
But most definitely

So when the season comes
Faithful enough to arouse few smiles
Just as our sun dawns 
To light our path over miles 
That we too can walk on tiles

We pose again to gaze 
Not at our land full of maize
Nor the properties we've made
But to render praise 
For that free trade;
Of breath without buying oxygen
And bread albeit, from heaven.

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.
