I know them long ago,
We've played the tales moonlight,
We've chased and hide and seek
We've shared and shared mummy's meal,
We were one blood
We felt our pains.

yes I know them
       I know them
       I know them!

Only little time like yesterday,
I was taken away from them
But I've returned,
I've come to them again!
No more,they know me no more!
I'm to them alien!

But I know them!
Yes, i do know them.
Long ago,our mummy sung us lullaby.
The whiles after the moonlight tales
When the nights were dark and thick
Yes I know them!

I'm the seasonal stranger.
The yesterday's friend,the little brother.
Enemies of humanity
Humanly clothed
Roaring lions in sheep clothings
They are demons amidst angels

   Enemies of humanity

They are traitors in our territories
Which we do not know of
They enjoy the delicacies of our meals
Lay on same bed with us  

  They are enemies of humanity

In their arms we're ensnared
In our own town we're held prisoners
At their scenes of play:
  we mourn our siblings
  our fathers yell in grieves
  our mothers weep in deep sorrows
    
   they are enemies of humanity
They are the children of our yesterday
left miserably in the arms of vulnerability
They are the nightmares we've known in our sleeps

They are the monsters we created with our hands
The graves we dug for ourselves

Our rhythm will beat
woefully
we will know no rest until
we treat the messes of our yesterday!
When will i stop pouring lines of broken heart poems?
When will i be free from this foe?
When will i know love for love?
When will my love be reciprocated?

When will i like other's be of good cheers in love?
many i've desired for love but none has ever for my love embraced.
I'm like one tree in a desert.
In the world of many yet Lonelines have me his bed mate.

Everyday i look at many beauty faces,
they make my desire spreads like an oak tree,
and my feelings flow like stream.
The cold evening wind whispers me sardonic,

When the night is dark and still am held in the quiet, in loneliness arm.
Who is this?!
Who is this creature,
peeping through my joy,
interrupting my happiness?
Who is this creature,crawling my surrounding?
Crooking the smooth path i once trod?

Who is this that feeds upon the flesh of my children,
And drinks from the blood of my offsprings?!
Who is this ravaging the treasures long laid?
Darkening my image,
Treading upon my dignity?!
Trampling on my joy of motherhood?
How did my innocent children wrong you?

Upon whose invitation do you resident my camp?!
Who invited you to swim in the blood of children?!
And have as your meal the fruits of my hardlabour?

Curse upon you this day,
For you're but unwanted guests!
Enemies of humanity
Humanly clothed.
Enough to your damage.
Gather your luggage and be gone from us.

Let me and my children sing the songs of peace!.
Be far removed from us!
Go far away from this land and do not return.
We used to be one of the most peaceful countries of the world,until the coming of this monsters called "Boko Haram"
Here is the mirror which reflects my heart
The only thing that knows well
how it feels within.
The ink which flows through my veins,
That plays the beat of my heart.

This plain sheet that bears with me my grief
When loneliness sings me lullaby,it Hears my sigh
Upon this paper is the best my heart knows to rest
It is my best of companionship
This paper is the origin of my philosophical gatherings
The Collections of my poetry.
Oh! Sudden hurt!
Why your grips haven't left?
Why do you resident in my heart?
You're but a guest,your stay is due!

Oh! You the reason for my
musing,
Why do you distant your heart from me?
You,whose touch,my senses delight.
At the sound of your suave footfall,
In the fragrance of your presence,
In the sweet smelling of your skin,
my nose swims,am in Heaven!

Why suddenly you wave for goodbye?
Oh! This somber lane I eerie dare not go!
You thought me the way of love.
You whispered peace to my troubled heart.
When you're with me,the world is a garden of roses.
The beauty of all eyes.
Go not far away from me!
Hold me by hands,
Take me to Lovers isle where you resident!
For i'm not strong,
I have no hold over myself!
Come now lets weep in accord!
Now that our hearts merry,
Lets travel,the forlorn way
Now that our oness' inseparable!
Come now! Oh! My love come.
Lets for the broken hearts disco dance.
Now that our hearts sing melodies.

For surely i know soon.
It shall dawn upon the face of the sky,
When your last kiss will be for last.
When your wave will be for goodbye!
Come now! Lets play forlornly,
now that we are one bound in Love.
Before the dawn of solitude tale be told!
Come my love,lets try this somber path,
Now that our love shines bright like diamond in the sky.
