[b]DAIRY OF ALHAJI TANKO (Burlesque) Our decimation is no news no more, And brothers swam the sands of the desert For our heads - as tears became thicker than blood; Hell has found its place amongst us. The morning and night are against us. They conspire with the bulb of the earth To hunt us down while our shadow freely flee from us In fear as we roam like potential corpses. Yesterday, they came in hundreds in monstrous motors, Squirting death's seeds at sighted souls - thereby planting Murder on our lands; they performed wudhu with our blood, Took our daughters and drown our abode with streams of fire In the gleeful watch of our protector above. For how long will our peace be sodomized? For how long will our death cease to appease you? Are we cursed by you, or are you jealous And threatened by our existence? Who exhumed the peaceful hell? Despaired hearts asked from paradise's hell, Gnashing their teeth towards absconded fate. I recall the serious-play of Russian roulette Thrown at me in the theater of death, Each rounds went off breaking my frozen blink. My faith denied fate its fetish grin that day, But my brothers calmly lost their heads In silent supplication at terror's swag. Today, I speak to you from a prisoner's lot; Just before this bloody ground swallows me In a mass grave interred amongst victims of brotherhood, Know that i have painstakingly tried To sieve water from fire So as to extinguish hell for my children.

****AT THIS POINT**** So i stop at this point... This feelings cover in confusion... Stepping back and front .. With dues of illusion. At this point.. I want to love you.. At this point.. All I have for you is true. At this point.. I break this tenderness.. At this point.. I will never love you less.. At this point... You be the Queen.. At this point.. You I have already win... At this point... I give my life for you.. At this point.. I can do without you.. At this point... You are the finest in the world.. At this point .. This is not just my word.. At this point.. I write cause I have lost my mind.. At this point.. I'm so glad you are mine.. At this point.. I give you my heart.. At this point.. Don't break it , close all holes make it hard.. At this point.. I'm in my poetic mind.. At this point.. I alter this Godly alterance.. At this point.. I pause, stop and don't continue.. At this point.. I write one more , but end with a dot.. |

THE QUEST FOR GREEN Away from Home; I sort my Fate. Of age and hence my Due accrue To live a Man; My greatest Dream To size his Shoe; My umptheenth Quest. A Quest for Green in No man's Land So distant a land where risk are dined I dare not slack; For duty Calls I must be brave that I mayn't my responsibilities - shirk. Rare Green - likened for a misfortuned Gem Wasting its precious worth in filthed fingers grip.. Needy minds hardly ever sniff's her abundance The Quest for Green; I dare not Quit! Crying wizened Mum lying in a dying Dad's grip His might can no longer his will perfect Young clueless mouths whines with Juvenile scorn That; 'Feeble wretched hands cant even its mouth - Feed.' I'm of age; couldn't watch them die For Hunger sake; Worms are already feasting my Entrails The future is indeed my today's thoughts' victim '...sandy hands would forever bring Oily mouth' Idle mindedness - My Bete noire! Far gone, for long Offskirts and coasts.. Mum now longs to hear me speak 'Alive or Dead?..' her thoughts would think In rain, come shine - The Green's I seek I'm all by myself in a quest of life Jobs for Green; the demeaning or drudgery My pride had for long deserted my being.. I have one thing to keep my living 'I'm either In Greens or I'd grief till death.' |

GIVE ME A CLUE
Give me a clue,
tell me what to do
where r u
tell me it isn’t true.
I stumble on sorrow,
no more courage to borrow,
how do i face tomorrow
without u life is boringly solo.
U left me clueless n fearful,
u left my heart n soul tearful,
ur absence is painful,
now am left to rue my luck.
We av walked a million miles already,
our body chemistry was already steady,
why take a diversion when i wasn’t ready?
Why ceased to be my lady?
I was saved from d alter of lust
i vowed to love u at all cost,
even when i knew Dying is a must,
ur love died n am lost,
raging within me is my troubled soul,
thorn apart is my wandering sole,
as i search n stop in every pole,
if only i can glimpse again at love’s departed
soul,
so give me a clue
for to u my heart is glued
tell me what i must do,
for am sure farewell is not yet due.
Safe me from dis doom while it’s still noon,
let love again bloom before d appearance of d
moon
u left to early, too soon,
while i remain in ur love’s baracoon.
So give me a clue
whatever u ask I’ll do,
i can show, am meant for u,
just giv me a clue |
