Sayeed Abubakar Poems

You are the supreme power,
O God. Our
All good and bad
Which make happy and sad
...

If you surrender to a rich man, he may give you a mansion,
Delicious foods, nice clothes and physical pleasure;
He may give you a heart as dead as a withered river;
He may love you, too and make you the owner of a vast land.
...

There is no appetite in heart,
Appetite arises only in body;
The infinite desolate appetite
Remains into my two eyes.
...

Here death, killing, violence and hunger
Round the clock play the game of doom;
Snatching, hijacking, injustice and inconvenience
Grow the grass of sorrow in the field of life.
...

The fish that flees away breaking the hook
Seems to be the best;
And the lips you haven't given me to kiss
Seem to be the best.
...

Watching acting day and night everywhere,
Acting seems to be truth now, truth acting.
...

Were I a river, I would run
To meet the sea.
Were I the moon, I would float
Smiling on the sky.
...

We want to oil the heads of oily men only;
We have no oil for those having no oil at all.

We want to declare again and again
...

You say that you love rain.
But when it starts raining,
You raise your umbrella.
...

I dream a scene
Where a baby falls asleep
Having sucked a pair of breasts
Resembling two pomegranates weighing ten kg.
...
