yakubu abukari n Poems

This is a poem to be performed, not to be read. Don't get caught reading, perform it in your head!
Write me a poem.

A long lovely poem. One that will hit your audience like a thunderbolt and make them replay their lives
...

Happier not have I ever been
Since these three musketeers I met
They are the nicest persons I have ever seen
So listen, if you have not encountered them yet
...

When I die, please don’t cry
Rather, pray for my soul
Because Janna is my goal
And when you bury me
...

I, I am a sinner par excellence by day
And a repentant Muslim at night
A repentant Muslim par excellence by day
And a sinner at night
...

Disturbing dreams of difficult days ahead I have
Days of trials and tribulations
Strife and sorrow
If these visions are a premonition what do they portend?
...

If you see the traffic light, red bright
And round about you there is nobody in sight
If you then decide to sit tight
And take off in sudden flight
...

When the chips are down
And your back is against the wall
When in your sorrows deep, you drown
And nobody hears your call
...

Through the sand dunes of the desert
We march on in a single file
In the searing heat of the summer sun
My people drown in their sweat
...

Today I am your newspaper man
And I will like to hear your views
On one or two issues
So spare a moment if you can
...

So it was in the days of old
When men were men and boys were bold
Or so I am told
When stories were told by the fireside
...
