Mother Asaya; A Poem by lamarrj(m): 1:49am On Aug 09, 2017 |
MOTHER ASAYA BEFORE YOU, mother Asaya*, In Khaki I stand; Before your bushy presence, A prodigal Feeding on yam and bean, Lost in your Parade Under your scorching sun I wait In my jungleboots, Soldiers for the march At commands of scod 1 and 2 out of his lungs commandant cries; Remove head dress and salute. Mummy's angels at the beginning. SAED, CDS and book of life, ringing in my head Foreshadow the long awaited service that is dreamed of Oga Biggler and his melodies, singing "alaweeee" foreshadows the money that is dreamed of First, 1 thousand 5 hunid, second, 1 thousand And almighty 19,8 A story, to tell Talking of dreams? I saw him, who? The Camp Commandant, where? In my dreams as he promised Rain and sun for a single combat; On one leg standing screaming attention by number! Scold 1! 1!! In silence on the parade The coterie of goats at the center SILENT FACES at the pavilion Festivity with medical cards Faces of OBS "them" chilling with a particular sonorous voice Echoing, "all currh members should move to the parade ground" We like column of ants marching, Oga Dahiru and his never ending "This squad! Whu retires aaabout turn" Or Behind my hostel, the shot puts like it were olympics into the fresh garden, what a greenland! Parade commander yelling, Abdullai! Simon!, Garuba! Or heyit! And calls Arowolo Issa lie! Talk about Mami, oh Maammi! Where we all meet, GTB charge your fone, Minaj is here! Festivity at bubbling spot, down down Mami, Oh WAZOBIA at the knob of the Maami Hear us at down south where we chill with Pammi Where the players of snooker like to meet While we hear suddenly "wheeeew!" Ohh! The Bugler again! If you're walking you're wrong, Goddamnit! I curse under my breath Have not even had a first base of my indomie relax old soldier-woman, dark skin and funny accent makes me Crush Strains of rushed noodles settles on my white, because of soldier woman Bowl of the tuwo stuck in that pot with some sluggy soup For we are eating and shot putting, no wahala! Among the whistle blowers at 2am deadline day Taking our revenge on the camp commandant Turns out to be a disaster, Asaya! Punishes me with serving in a school 5 hours from camp For I will be back and mention this Mention the snakes that terrorized garden Asaya Mention how Adoza 'white lion' Bello was too busy Mention the rocks that protects Kogi Mention that Nigeria is lazy because she wakes by 6. |
