Only in Kano you will find a reader who lacks knowledge. They will read all social networking sites without understanding them. They will read all types of writing, but in an unusual way. They do not understand, and they will never let themselves to. That's Kano, where a villager guides a city person. This is Kano, where ignorance trumps knowledge. In Kano, the darkness leads the light. In Kano, this is where the quiet brouhaha and clamour die down. In Kano, here is where evil triumphs over good. Barau Kallon Shege has never lived anywhere other than Kano. It is regarded as the place where Mai Tatsine created his Tatsine. Kano is where Shegantaka is bathed. Kano people believe that anything impossible will be broken. Only in Kano  you can find Dutsen Dala and Goron Dutse. Only Aminu Dantata lives in Kano. Aliko Dangote was born in Kano. Only in Kano was Abdussamadu Rabiu (BUA) born. Also in Kano, Malam Gabagadi was raised. And only in Kano was Emir Ado Bayero, the father of Kano's Emir Aminu Ado Bayero and the father of Bichi's Emir Nasiru Ado Bayero, born.

Its 1862 and the Civil War is still going on, Johnny Colam was at his house watching his mother and his small brother and sisters since his father was in the war. Later that day up the drive they saw military men and they knew that they contained the letter saying that his father had died by friendly fire. His mother was especially sad but Johnny was very surprised that his father ,since he was such a good soldier, had died. The next week A general came to thier house and told his mother that Johnny was to be sent to war to replace his father. His mother ,trying to beg and beg to keep Johnny at home, had failed. Johnny had to go to war that day. He went day and night for five weeks and thought he was not going to survive."I need water I need food" he tried to say they had a limit of food and water since it they needed a lot to survive the war. It was very cold and many soldiers have fallen but been replaced by new recruits.

On the way Johnny and another soldier were sent to hide behind trees near where one of the enemy soldiers were going. But to their surprise the soldier turned and motioned more soldiers to come with. As they watched the soldiers they lost sight of them. "Where did they go" Johnny whispered. His partners response was just 1 shrug of his shoulders. All of a sudden Johnny and the other soldier were GRABBED. They were taken to the enemy's chamber and locked up. Johnny and his partner were thrown into the chamber. "I should of known this would happen" The other soldier said. "Luckily I snuck in and pretended to be my brother.
                
            "What do you mean"
              
             "Wait your a girl" Johnny was very surprised. "My name is Shana" the girl said. All of a sudden cling clang click screech they looked and saw a girl and boy at the cell door and they said "come with me and Kano"
Johnny and Shana nodded and followed. "My name is filiona" she said as they followed then they stopped. GUARDS EVERYWHERE! They were surrounded slowly they all rose up there hands but filiona did not. Instead of surrendering she just stood there. Finally when the guards came closer by 2 steps filiona kicked and punched and did the hardest move out of all the fighting moves,the thunder swirl, and she did it perfectly.

They watched as she kicked and punched and blocked the guards weapons. "Ok let's move". The three just stared with wide open eyes.
"Well are you coming". All three blinked twice and followed once again.
                
    "How did she do that" thought Johnny. He felt like he knew filiona from somewhere and at that moment he had a vision. A girl with black hair and tan skin was walking on a skinny pipe and fell off and must of drowned but the body was not discovered."It couldn't be it just couldn't" he said quietly to himself.

   The place they were taken to was a old cabin with many hand made weapons. They each chose one. Kano chose the staff, Filiona chose the chain and Shana chose the knife. "I i can't use a weapon I can shoot though." Th others just glared at Johnny and gave him a metal polet  

"Hey hey hey" Johnny jumped up from the sudden noise. "EN GARDE"Johnny yelled as his hand flew across the room like a clumsy sword.
           "OW" THUMP "SHANA!"

"Huh"  Jhonney finally  opens his eyes and saw a hard pole in his hand then looking down saw Shana with blood out her nose and mouth uncauncious lying on the floor.

While the whole group surrounds her Jhonney just standing like a brick wall. Finally shana wakes and then after making her go to sleep Jhonney tries to run but Kano is to fast for him. Kano then tackles him while the group follows. The group then beats him up and leaves him there luckily for him emergency helpers get him and Shana and take them for 15 years. When they finally awoke the were sent to a foster home, for all of there families had died. Kano,Filiona,Shana,and Jhonney were all sent to the foster home. While they were in high school Kano and Shana were populer also was to. They saw Jhonney scream at Shana for leaving him out so,as most would do, they tricked him to meeting them after school. When Jhonney came he saw the football player and just walked past them. The group then yelled and teased him so he ran.


The group had promising futures. Filiona was a AWSOME fighting trainer, Kano was a football player, Shana became a famous motivational speaker, And Jhonney, well he had many jobs. One was a part time  test dummy for the rich people since there government was a confederate,oligarchic  government the rich people tested the medicines on him but mostly Jhonney is a underwater and land explorer.

Isang-libo, siyam na raan, siyamnapu't-siyam
Nang una nilang marinig ang pagtangis

Dalawang libo't labing-walo
Napakarami kong gustong bigkasin
Pero nauutal ako't lumalabas pagiging utak alipin
Para sa'yo sana, gusto ko pa ring sabihin,
Na, patawad Felipe, kung kay hirap **** mahalin

Wala ako nang tumangis ka kay Macoy
Huli kong nalaman ang tungkol kay Luisita
Masyado pa ba 'kong musmos upang ibigin ka?

Lubha lamang daw akong bata
Nagpupuyos ang damdamin
Walang pang kaalaman magdesisyon ng tama
Mapusok at madaling matangay
Manatili na lamang daw ako sa klase,
at kinabukasan ko'y sa mataas na marka ibase

Kaya't pinilit kong hindi pakinggan ang pagdaing mo
Ano bang alam ko upang magalit, maghimagsik?

Batid ko man ang kasaysayan mo sa mga prayle, kano't hapon, labis ko pa ngang inidolo si Luna't Bonifacio noon

Hindi ba't namatay rin sila sa kasibulan nang dahil sa'yo?
Natatakot ako, na balang araw iyon rin ang sapitin ko sa piling mo
Mainit ang puso ko, pero malamig ang paa't kamay
Hindi ko kayang palayain ka
Tipid ang boses ko upang ipagsigawan ka
Nagtagpo tayo sa panahong akala ko malaya ka na

Hindi ka pa pwedeng umiyak
Hangga't hindi pa tapos ang lahat
Ano bang alam mo upang magalit, maghimagsik?

Ngunit hindi ko kayang lumingon pabalik
Hindi ko kayang matulog muli nang wala ang 'yong halik
Hindi ko kayang mahimbing nang wala ang mga gunita

Dekada Sitenta.
Bungkos ng namumuong nana
Nilalapnos ng kumukulong tubig
Dumaranak ang dugo sa sarili **** balat
Tumatalilis at tinatanggalan ng bayag

Paiikutin ang roleta't ipuputok sa sintido
Ihihiga ang katawan sa bloke ng yelo
Papasuin ng upos ng sigarilyo
Ibabalanse ang katawan hangga't may lakas pa ang kabayo
Hindi ito mga metaporang naririnig ko lang sa mga kwento

Hindi na ako magtataka kung may diyos pa ba
A kung kahit isang beses nilingon ka man lang niya



Kung ang nakikita ng mata ay dumudurog ng puso
At ang mga salita ay pumapainlalang

Silang 'di nakaririnig ay dapat kalampagin
Hampasin ang higanteng pintuan at sipain
Ang pader na marmol na walang bintana
Galit na sumusunog ng patay na tala
Hindi kumakalma, pilit nagbabaga, nagtatangka

Ano bang alam ko upang magalit, maghimagsik?
Maaari ko bang palitan ng paglilingkod ang iyong biyaya?
Mas madali naman siguro magsalita
Kung 'di mo batid ang paghangos ng maralita


Mainit ang puso ko, pero malamig ang paa't kamay
Hindi ko kayang palayain ka
Tipid ang boses ko upang ipagsigawan ka
Nagtagpo tayo sa panahong akala ko malaya ka na

Nang masulyapan ka nang unang mabuksan ang aking paningin
Gusto ka lang naman palaging kita ng mata
Wala pa man natatakot na akong makitang umiiyak ka
Mas mapalad ba ang mga bulag o tulad kong piring ang mata?
Hinayaan mo akong maging alipin
Itinatatwa ko ang araw na namulat ako
Ang hirap naman kasing maka-usad mula sa'yo
Matapos mabura ang mga kasinungalingang sa'yo'y ibinabato
Kumbaga, ikaw 'yung maraming sakit na pinagdaanan, dadagdag pa ba 'ko?
Patawad
Oh, Felipe, kay hirap **** mahalin

Habang binabasa ko ang kasaysayan ****
Nagaganap pa rin hangang sa ngayon
Parang itinutulak ang aking sikmura
At ang balat ko'y nagsisiklabo
Hindi tumitigil ang mga luha

Ilang taon matapos maghalal ng bagong pangulo
Pinaulanan ng bala ang mga humihingi ng reporma


Dalawang-libo't apat
Matapos ang tatlong dekada
Mga batas na pabor lang sa mayama't may kaya

Gusto lang naman namin mabuhay
Nang hindi inaagaw ang aming kabuhayan
Nagtatanim ng bala't hindi binhi
Umaani ng bangkay hindi punla

Lupa mo'y hinulma ng dugo
Parang imbes na pataba ay pulbura ang inaabono
Para bang ang buhay ko sa'yo'y Walang katapusang pakikibaka
Para bang ang inaani ko'y dusa sa Buong buhay na pagsasaka


Dalawanlibo't-siyam
Matapos ang apat na taon

Kinikitil nila isa-isa ang mamamahayag
Nilibing ng traktora't patong-patong ang buto't balat
Pinagkanulo mo at hayagang pumayag
Mga berdugong hinayaan mo lang lumayag

Dalawang libo't labing-lima
Nangingisay sa walang habas na pangraratrat
Hanggang huling hininga'y maubos, mawala sa ulirat
Apatnapu't-apat **** mandirigma
Lumusong sa mapanganib na kagubatan na walang dalang sandata o pananggalang man lang
Malupit ka, hanggang saan ipagtatanggol ang laya mo?
Hindi pa ba sapat ang lahat ng luha?
Nagsasakripisyo para sa hindi siguradong pagkakakilanlan bilang Pilipino


Ikalawang Milenya.
Ngayon naririnig ko na ang pagpapatahimik laban sa karapatan **** magpahayag
Nagsasakripisyo ng dugo ng mga tupa
Para sa huwad na pag-unlad
Pinapatay ng bala ang uhay
Habang matapos tapakan ang upos ng sigarilyo,
Pagtatalunan ang dilaw at pula
Kung sino ba ang mas dakila
Aastang **** na tagapagligtas
Na siyang hawak ang lahat ng lunas
Napakarami nang diyos sa kasaysayan
Pawang dinikta, ibinigkis ang kalayaan

Ninais kong mahiga na lamang at hintayin ang bukang liwayway
Na pinangarap din noon ng mga ilustrado't rebolusyunaryong mararangal
Wala nang lunas ang sumpa ng edukasyon
Magpalaya ng isipang noo'y nakakahon

Wala sa akin noon ang lakas ng bagyo
Hanggang sa nabatid kong malulunod na rin ako
Wala akong nagawa kundi tumangis

Felipe, lumuluha ka rin ba? nasasaktan ka pa ba o manhid ka na?

Gayunpaman, tahan na, Felipe, tahan na.

Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum behad khoobsurat **.
Ye jo tumne akhon ke kajal ko b palko ki had me dal rakha hai.
In aankhon ne jane kitna kehar sambhal rakha hai.
Kya chamak hai aankho me jaise ek choti si khush duniya ka sapna paal rakha hai.
Socha cheru thoda tumhe or thoda sata du.

Muje aj sambhalne se pehle tere chehre nadan ne rok lia.
Jane tumhe ye sab kehna lagta hai khata kyu.
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum dilnashi **.
Vo choti si kali bindi jo thik maathe k me kahi hai.

Jaise muje kehti ** idhar aao tumhe kano k jhumko ka pta du.
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum dalkashi **.
Ye phir thode uljhe thode suljhe baal hai.
Inki to ada hi bemisal Hai
Tumhe tang karte hai.
Manmarji chalate hai jaise tujse jung karte hai.
Chere pe aate hai tum unhe phir peeche karti.
Kabhi clip se kabhi rubber se kheenche rakhti **.
Kabhi aaye chehre pe to shayad main b hta du.
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum koi kehkasha **.
Or vo sone ki nath ko koi
kaise taal sakta hai.
Jise tumne apni teekhi si naak me daal rakha hai.
Or kuch batein in sab se pare hai.
Tera chutkan sa Gussa hai jane tu kaise handle kare hai.
Phir vo pyari si hasi vo sharm haya  vo bachpana vo nadaniya.
Samjhdari vo nasamjhi
Vo adayein vo shaitaniya.
Or sambko tumne brabar rakha hai.
Jane ye hisab kaise lagakar rakha hai.
Kya kehna hai kya sunna hai kya bolna hai kya btana.
Kab ruthna hai kab manana hai kab satana hai kab jatana hai.
Teri har ek choti moti khoobiyon ne dil me aatank macha rakha hu.
Jane tune kitne salo se khud ko ishq se bacha rakha hai.
Jane mujme kab se or kyu ye thode guroor k lakshan aaye hai
K tuje suna sabne hai samjh sirf hum paaye hai.
Tum jaisa or koi mere aas paas ni hai.
Phir kaise manliya jaye tum aam ladki ** tum me kuch  khas nahi hai.
Ha aj maine ek kadam apne beech ki sarhad se thoda bahar aaya.
Tumne apna hunar azmaya tha vo pic dalke use shayri bnake maine apna hunar aazmaya hai.
ye padhke tum socho k inam du is shayar ko ya koi saza du.
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum afreen **.

Tum khoobsurat **.

Kano my State my City

I love Kano

Visit my Kano

New York, Tel Aviv, Moscow, London, Netanya,
Bali, Istanbul, Riyadh, Beslan, Nisanit, Dublin
Londonderry, Glasgow, Manchester,
Spin Boldak (district), Kuta
Kano, Baghdad, Kandahar
Mumbai, Karballa, Boston

All for God, the almighty
God, the inhumanity in his name
God, the creator

I am weeping for the latest terror victims
141 injured in Boston
3 dead in Boston

Jesus Saves...tell that to the dead

When will it end?

I have nothing....just tears, and an emptiness
Confusion

I leave you all with your prayers, for all of those lost
Over time, to terrorist attacks listed and not listed
I pray for the lost, the living and the future

I remain confident in mankind....

Lahat ng kabataan ay kayang lumaban
Sa bansa na hindi ipinaglaban
Ang sakim ng imperyalistang kano ng kalawakan
Na Pinatay nila nang tuluyan ang kalayaan

O Inang bayan, sinaktan ka nang tuluyan
Sa ginawa ni kahel na agawin ang iyong yaman  
Sa ganda mo ginawang kang alipin ,ngunit hindi ka pa rin ipinaglaban
Sapagkat ang ginawa, pinaslang nila ang boses ng mga mamamayan.

O inang bayan, narinig ko ang sigaw ng proletaryo
Humahanay sa rebolusyon tungo sa sosyalismo
Sa likas ng tapang ng mga kayumanggi
Nandito na kami para bumawi

Ang kulay aking binabanggit,
Na sa mata ng mga puti ay pangit,
Pero taglay ito ng lakas
Para umalis ang mga nangahas

Sa ganda ng bansa natin, iisa lang naman ang kulay natin
Kaya naman nating pabagsakin ang imperealismo, para sa soberanya
Taglay naman natin ang sigaw ng pagkakaisa
Sapagkat, oras nang umaksyon ang masa.

We stand tight and firm
To protect our city, kano
The Great and giant city,
A state of farm and land
A commercial and nature
The state of religion, with
culture and no racial sect,
is a city of peace and fair,
So help us Allah.

Habeeb started to get smart.
His life began to change.
Thank you, God, for showing me this.
Oh God, revive him for us.
Make him smart.
Smartest, the expert of what he saw.
Today he visited FGC, Kano.
He saw students and teachers.
He saw the principal in his office.
There are plenty of green trees.
With fragrant flowers.
And classrooms with plenty of space.
The students were happy with Habeeb's arrival.
Everyone wants to take Habeeb.
Especially female students love Habeeb.
We thank God for giving us Habeeb.
Our popular son Habeeb
Ya Allah, raise Habeeb for us.
Give him blessed knowledge.
Make him a trustworthy person.

Yarinya!
Born into a life which gave you little or no choices.
Your basket of options had only oranges for sale and a tray to balance on your head.
Yarinya!
Your small feet tread the path baked hot by the mean African sun.
Yarinya!
Working to cater for the adult mouths of those who forged you.
Yarinya!
Life has so much to offer you but how your arms are deprived their right to reaching out
because they  support the tray on your head.

Yarinya!
The rags you wear shall not mark you out for shame.
Yarinya!
Your kind have shaped the world for the better.
Yarinya!
I heard about another of your kind who once sold bread on the streets of Lagos.
They say she unconsciously walked into a picture
and for her, that was the beginning of a new story.
Yarinya!
The tray on your head shall not suppress the intellect hidden in your head.

Yarinya!
Until I find you, hold on to that tray and sell the best oranges you can find.
Until I find you, bear the blisters on your feet for lack of shoes.
Until I find you, keep your story alive on your lips.
When I find you, we'll sell your story, "Yarinya Mai Talle."
And the world will know that her children
deserve much more than just clean water and UNICEF endorsements
or a tray of hawker's items and a society dead to its conscience.

Yarinya!
Where ever you are,
On the streets of Italy or under the bridge in Lagos,
Under the "dogon yaro" tree in Kano or in your father's house in Brazil
Until I find you,
God keep you from those seeking to marry you at five
so they can wife you at eight.

*Yarinya-means "young female"

Pyaar ek jadu hi hai.
Aaj bade dino baad,
Unki aawaj sunayi padi kano pe,
Suna Kano ne ,
Asar hua pani se bhige aakho pe.

Aaj bade dino baad ,
Todi se jalak dikhayi di unki,
Dekha aankho ne ,
Asar hua yaado se bhare Dil pe.

Sun ke aawaj unki ,
Dekh ke chavi unki ,
Sukoon mila

Terrorism has begun.
I said more.
before today and yesterday.
Don't spread scorpions on your mattress.
Don't let the mad elephants loose in your town.
I know anything can happen.
And here it begins.
On the polo field and others.
He will go down through the valley.
He will go up to the top of the hill.
Well, that's not the problem.
When he moves, he goes to the king.
And the other four kings.
Ah, that's not the problem.
Kidnapping and **** will happen.
confiscation of phones by thugs
Seize the poor people's lands and own them.
****** ******* with minors
insulting elders and humiliating the humble.
Pride and exaltation.
They all started to happen.
I said more.
Do not choose bloodsuckers.
those who make turbans and red cloth.
those with red hats and red walnuts.
So here it is; it happened, and it's over.

Aaj phir se uski yaad ayi thi, Socha ke bhool jaun use.

teergi me takhliyon me shoreeda sa baitha tha, ke us ahl-e-wafa ki awaaz kano se takrayi thi,

Shadab Agar bhoolna hi tha to ye ishq ki tabeez kiu pehnayi thi,

tu to hum-nafs tha mera to bhoolna kaisa,
kal khwaab me deedar huwa tera aankhe khuli to sirf tanhayi thi

My thoughts will maim you like Kano
Thinking of the pain-o makes you start drinking the draino
Count your days bro
Time for a puzzle for your brain-o
What likes kit and kaboodle but not the rain-o
I’d tell you but you wouldn’t get it
Like tots listening to Coltrane-o or Jimmy Hendrix
I’ve gots one more question, use your noodle
Pay attention! Better stop picking at your cuticles
Some kids only get to draw yankee doodles
They tag along at home while they eating ramen noodles
Other kids go to games with the family poodle
In the booth they get to sing a song, the Yankee Doodle
  How much wealth do you think is in the bottom half?
  Only 1 percent belongs to most, the riff raff
  Inscribe that graph on my epitaph
  On my deathbed, I just want to hear my children laugh
Many fellas feign money through poverty
The reality of my situation doesn’t really bother me
I’m full of funny sayings like Plato and Socrates
Such catchphrases as hey baby **** on these!
I’m just kidding I would never-ever do that
I have a reputation as a forever-ever cool cat
Whose that? Is he a juul rat? How many tats?
Henry, no, and none. Now say where’s your daughter at?
The poor burn wealth about as much as anyone
Though some can’t easily earn health for they many sons
She turn tricks for her son’s Trix and lego bricks
But in the end we all churn the same River Styx
  How much wealth do you think is in the bottom half?
  Only 1 percent belongs to most, the riff raff
  Inscribe that graph on my epitaph
  On my deathbed, I just want to hear my children laugh
Rich and poor both drinking coca-cola
Stress and storm both scary like paranoia
I’m thinking there’s a little societal unrest
The greatest generation watched King Kong beat on his chest
I want to scream just like Ann Darrow
Yelp for help but the people’s views too narrow
The news only shows what the shiny shoes say to
Not much we can do, so we wait till they get their due
Nothings gonna happen if we don’t make it
So write in, call in, tweet in and even pray it
They won’t admit it if we can’t force them to say it
Our last hope’s revolution, they’re not outdated
  How much wealth do you think is in the bottom half?
  Only 1 percent belongs to most, the riff raff
  Inscribe that graph on my epitaph
  On my deathbed, I just want to hear my children laugh

We fall asleep, under
The bright and blue

And, we are awake
With worst forlorness

In Kano, all our piektus
Are whining severely and
Our sight fluid, running
Torrentially on our cheeks...

Because, we can't justify
The darkness of that...
What had been done in
Infanticidal burial with
No hand to retaliate, and
Words to express and
Mouth to say and fingers
To indicate....

We stand glued all together
We are sisters and brothers
To seek a justice for mother
And the one who's a father
To bring back their feather

A young Hanifa she had gone
And the manslayer is still here

So,

We bow down to all,
Seeking, a justice call
For Hanifa, the tall...

To rest in peace forever

We grew and won the Kano state election.

If Ondo is used for settlers
And Ogun is a river
Tell me about Oyo, an empire

You mispell Gwosh as Jos
Recognised Sokoto, a market
Far away from Osun, a river

Lakes is to Lagos
As Kogin is to Kogi
And Kebbi is synonymous to Ka'abba

Janzama, women power inspired Katsina
But Kano was a Blacksmith
While Kaduna means Crocodile

The people of the golden soils of Jigawa
To the river Imo Mmiri
They don't speak Gombe at all

Take me to the hills of "Enu Ugwu"
Following the hills in "Okiti"
Without navigating through Iduu

All Ebonyi are "Aboine"
Close the Delta that marries the atlantic
And Oyono, makes you Cross River

Don't say Benue, say "Binuwe"
Balga, Yelga, Salga formed Bayelsa
And I love Kasashen Bauchi

"Anyim Oma Mbala kwenu!"
But I love ladies from "Kwa Iboe"
Only legends understands this

Tell them I told you
Adamawa is a warrior
While Abia is a coinage

If I missed your state
Go back to the history books
This is just a drill...

Gawuna has already come.
Keep your eyes open and see
I'm sure he's already here.
Saturday will judge.
In Kano, Gawuna came
He came with a white plan.
which will be bright.
What is destroyed will be rebuilt.
The one who was taken away will give it back.
I'm sure Gawuna will come.
It will come with all the grace styles.
which will spread anywhere.
Young people will enjoy it.
Women will have the freedom
Children will feel pity,
from the Gawuna of the Kano community.

Hello, Hello Poetry Friends and Members.

I said a lot about the supposedly peaceful protest in my state. Maybe the administration of Kano State may arrest me sooner or later, but I pledge to be a tried and trustworthy activist.

I thank you all,
Auwal Habeeb Abdulqadeer.

An evening scattered
in the beginning of
harmattan cloud in
the western kano
when the sun shine
is dimmed,
a green feathered
birds longing their
beaks, flying their
wings and hiding
their legs at back

An evening outing with friend
As she invited me to the shops
I felt like I am the king of kano
That time, I see how treated I'm
A soft care from the beautiful
That day I understand I am man
We play games in the game
We licked on the candy in the shop
We sat on green grass in shoprite
We laid on our backs looking at sky
We sang a song that bring sweet
Me and my friend on 17 March, 22

Your glossiness; amplified by sunlight
With a distinctive smell
You are curvaciously curvacious
Full of life and robust energy
If I decide to open the crest
Please tell me, how much gold?
Tell me, how much?

Dorning luminous colours
That seperates you from the multitude
Save for the blind, none can miss your presence
Heralded by a strong and seductive fragrance
Surely; I think, you were created on a Sunday
After God rested on Monday

Astrologers follows the stars
For me and my everything, I choose you
Like a beacon to an Airplane
Your firm rounded headlights;
They are my longitude and latitude
Sending strong signals to my temple
And if you say "No", I'll die...

This is not about your "Tembe"
I just want to be lost in your world
And be the co-pilot if your plane
Hence I choose to disrupt tradition
Why kneel, with a precious ornament
When I can do it poetically
With poweful lines woven specially for you

Your real gloss is inately in you
Not in Mary Kay or Estee Lauder
I can't guarantee you heaven on earth
Nor all the precious ornaments in Kano
But what I promise you with my life
Is a lifetime of love and friendship

This is where it gets tricky
With every courage I can muster
Backed by the backing of the Backer
With a glow of pride and responsibility
And on this very special date
I ask poetically, will you marry me?
Just say "Yes", please!

It happened
like a dream from
the beginning,
a white rose flying
over the sky, it is
landed down to the
green yard shines on
a green bird with a
white face like no other

Kano and California
Reunion
🤵👰
