POEM - A MYSTERIOUS BEING - FATIMA MUHAMMAD SANI

A MYSTERIOUS BEING

Today's a special day
A special  poem to thee is all that I can pay
Thank you a million times,I say
Thee always reflecting like a light ray
With poetry,I became gay

Helped me expand my imaginations
Growing it wilder beyond notions
All happened as a coincidence
Shocked with all that occurred
But fain with what happened

A mysterious being,I discovered
Who helped me recover
A story I uncover
Moved me from where I was hovered

Helped me build a new mindset
With happiness packed in sets
All things been reset
A new beginning was set

If THANK YOU is a flower and can be gathered,
I would've gotten a garden for you,which is well watered
Because thee helped my pain to be shattered
A special poem for thee
Because thee always want special things

DEDICATED TO KHAMIS ABDULLAHI

Poem - The Devil in Our Midst - Ameer Jibril Salihu

*The Devil in Our Midst*

The devil is not the being that has pointy horns
And a pointy tail
He does not wear a black billowing cape
And a mischievous smile

Rather,
The devil is the one who cuts people open for the fun of it
He is the one who couriers his conscience to the seventh gate of hell

The devil is the one who loves to see blood
Wash away a town
He is the one who decimates communities as a hobby
He is the one who sits in his luxury chair
And sends drones to desolate towns
Because he has a PhD in cruelty

The devil is the one who crafts orphans and widows
In a bid to satisfy his thirst

The devil is the one who riddles children with bullets
And only feels emptiness
He is the one who shatters children to smithereens
And distributes the parts to places unknown

Let us join hands and pray
Whether you worship the sun
Or the moon or the stars
Whether you have one God or many god's

Let the Jews,
The Christians,
The Muslims,
The Buddhists,
The Hindus,
The Zoroastrians,
Join hands and condemn this evil
Ravaging our fragile world

For the devil is not the one with a pointy horn
And a pointy tail
He does not wear a black billowing cape
He is a man, like everyone.

 *Ameer*

POEM - I'M A HOPER - FATIMA MUHAMMAD SANI

I'M A HOPER

I'm stronger than I look
Use the dictionary to mock
I'll swirl them with a fork
With each breath,I'll work

A girl,I am
Small biceps in my arm
But with a strength that is warm
A heart larger than a farm
Which veils a lot
Lifts uncountable heavy loads
Invisible like dots

With hope,I became a hoper
Imaginations make me a dreamer
Dyspnea makes me a fighter
My goals make me an achiever
Pain makes me stronger

With emotions am caged
Feeling high like a wedge
Nearly crossing the hedge
But I'm the strongest,I realized

I won't let it get me down
I believe am the strongest in town
Who wears pain,hope and love as a gown
Covered the face with mask like a clown
And strength as a crown

I'll strive further
Because am the hope of my mother
Giving up, and being hopeless,I'll murder
I'll strike like a thunder
Till I cross the indestructible border
