Innocent Boy Poem by momodou jarju

Called me timid boy
But am not a toy
To play with in joy
Due to am coy

Breed up without mother's tang
Sure of her day to day hang
Encounter restless pang
Doors I called upon bang

My soft heart lying lazy
See my peers go hard crazy
Like mice very buzy
In the night feeling eazy

My wit web with daydreams
Bucketful thoughts could full streams
Queue in my mind as if teams
Playing hard scourging my self-esteem

Am engulf to yesterday's story
Incarnated in my memory
The snow's theory
Baptizing the sun's glory
Inscribing in scribble
That experts cackle
My gusto they mangle
I keep, learn, eschew grumble

The foes jam pack
Biting behind my back
Sew lies to Mr. Jack
My boss, am now sack

The poison in their marrow
Darker than charcoal, sharper than arrow
To called spade a spade they can't shallow
In my present, regard me good fellow

But I built end to rant
By the pen pant
To wrongs man spent
Quotidian qualm I don't intent

This resolution of mine I sign
My plans to soar and shine
Here and there's reign
To lord to whom lie can't feign

My love for glee
Is to live life of carefree
Grow free like a tree
My pen yield like bee

I invoke lord the supreme
Bestow me with esteem
To him I would always redeem
For his behest my cream

To the ‘Shahada' the covenant
I adhere and try be defiant
Coz to the Mighty am servant
Ease in heaven am an aspirant
