The trumpet is gradually blowing.
It's neither awake nor asleep.
And the drum beat hit a bit.
And the whispering voice that you hear
Later, the bold roar of a wolf rises.
Far in the distance, a speechless child
Waving her hand to catch the green
Imagine this kind of dreaming.
Happening in the sense of reality
Moving toward the girl horrendously
But my tongue was quaking like a snake.
I don't know what to say to help.
Because of the hideousness of her face,
It was a call from the darkness.
My name is loudly mentioned periodically.

Safana...
Safana...
Saaaffffaaannnnaa!
Take me away.
Take me away.
Take me away.

Dark smoke diffuses from an unknown space.
It covers almost everywhere in space.
I started coughing.
I think I will go to the grave. That is.
I am absolutely tethered to the rope and,
I'm being dragged somewhere like a hole.
 
I screamingly shouted 
Again and again,
And then, quite suddenly,

And then,
silence suddenly,
My eyes slowly begin to open
I am beneath a concrete canopy.
It's a stone chamber like a crypt.
Far from it, it's a ropeless,
a suspended bed draped in a red blanket

I am dragged heavily towards the bed's edge.
Suddenly, I am suspended between up and down.
And the man, with a horror face, woke from the bed
approaching my side, invoking Cyphe incantations.
He circled the ground with red blood.
His gaze was fixed on the roof. He is
Incanting with an unperceiveable word.

"wede demi yimit’u
  wede demi yimit’u
  wede demi yimit’u"

"demuni yimitu ina
gurorowoni yarik’u."

"o፣ widi yesī’oli āganiniti፣

weyi widi yesī’oli seyit’anati

weyi widi yekirīpiti seyit’ani"

He took his head and looked 
deeply into my sight, then a knife.
appeared in his hand. 
He approached where I am suspended.
All of a sudden, he came and stabbed the knife in the area of my chest.
I screamingly shouted again
and again and I woke up when
I realized it was my cat 
sitting on my chest.

It is pleasant and tasty.
It is bright and cheerful,
The children are blameless.
for the reason that they drink it.
Because their world is virtuous,
Ever since it was green and polite,
It is bright and blue.
So, the morning is flawless.
For sure, today's weather is good.
because the children are drinking "Koko."
And they eat so copiously of Kosai,
Their mouths feel the sweetest,
Their ears stood up straight.
Their bodies are boogying,
They dance well, twirling.
Because of the tasty taste of Koko,
And this was boiled so freshly,
In Safana's Poetry Kitchen,
For children, drink it hot.
It is really good.
It is really tasty.
Children, remember spring,
The millet is harvested.
Children, remember summer,
The corn is harvested.
Go to the farm and cut the crop.
It is a good thing in the morning,
for grannies to mix a porridge
A corn and millet porridge
and is an aroma in a pleasant atmosphere.
Children, let's dance and dance,
Because Koko is delicious,
And Kosai is also delicious.
Koko(also eko in Yoruba) is spicy millet porridge. It is a popular Nigerian and Ghanaian street food and commonly consumed as a breakfast meal. It can also be taken in the morning or late afternoon as snack. It is made from millet with a few local spices added to give it a particular taste and color. It is called Hausa koko because of the notion it was created in the Northern areas of Nigeria and Ghana. It is also common in the various communities in both countries.
It is usually accompanied by a fried bean bun called Kosai, Pinkaso, a spicy fried flour dumpling, or the Nigerian bean cake called Akara, which the former is created from.

Hausa koko is mostly found in West African countries and is credited to the Northern people, it is believed to have been first made by the Hausa among whom millet is a dietary staple. It is a very popular Ghanaian street food. On most mornings it is sold on street corners. Sugar, milk and groundnuts are sometimes added to give it a very delicious taste.

Benefit:
Hausa Koko is made from millet which contains Magnesium, Manganese, Tryptophan, Calcium, Fibre and Vitamin B.

Hi
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,

To tie your hands together with a stroud.
To say that men's holistic health is admirable.

We were United
At the center of...
Close to the gulf
We a red flying
And the green up
The white at middle
And the black beneath

We are together in unity
We are braved people
Who are strengthening
When there is difficulties
We are the red, hardiness...

We have the hope on all
We are the lovers of all
We have the green and joy
Optimism is our pride and
Prosperity, our mind nature

We wear the white the most
In our hearts and clothes, is
A purest mindset and body
We grown up with honest...
And peace is our cleanliness

We have black, the warriors
We defeats all on the walls
Because we have no enemy
And our belief is popularly
Due to our mind has strength

**** you with a spell,
that Willow is going to pierce,
sharpened to penetrate,
and, it is fierce

Deltafound Pins Around
His pins will keep,
you in the ground,
sense of humour,
will entrance you,
so you sleep cooler too

SCHEDAR Fire Rider,
into the night,
drag you out of sight,
you will be screaming,
with all your might.

Safana Voodoo Obama
Presidential skills,
those words,
will turn you into
White House pills

AS Smooth Glide
Her calm demure,
will wrap you up like,
a butterfly before,
you score,
and, hit the floor

Guy Mr Pie
He has made enough,
to cover each eye,
whipped cream,
will be dripping,
from your beam

AP has always been,
Lord of the Manor,
this time he going,
to put you,
into the stocks,
for a slammer

Brett the Knight of words,
is waiting for you to set
With his encapsulating words,
you will sleep with birds

Joey Night Flow
His flow will leave you sorry,
asking for an apology,
you're going in the cellar you see

Universe Poems loves to dance,
this time her kicks,
incorporated a prance,
when she danced,
you turned to stone,
with a glance
She continued her rhyming,
watched your statue,
as it stopped climbing

Don't feel broken💔
Don't feel ended
Don't feel destroyed

In a life
Broken is a damage

In a relationship💑
Broken is a destruction

In a promise🤝
Broken is more than destitute

In the night 🌃
Broken is interruption

In a language👅
Broken is a mistake

Let no one let you be broken
Let your heart feel unbroken

Today is our festival
We are slaughtering
A Ram and a Cow
Some it's a male goat
Others have a camel,
In the kitchen of houses
the meat are slicing and
the bones are cutting,
the frying fans are frying
and the pressure pots are
cooking...
But!
In my house, is a pen
I slaughtered and the
Hand is holding it,
putting more letters on
the papers and the papers
are frying the letters
into the word and the
words smells a phrase

And the nature woke me up
Warmly I took my fresh pen
I acidified the ink in the pen
I surfaced the paper and pen
I begin to mix paper and pen
Stirring the paper with pen
In the *** of paper and pen
To make a fine poetry cheese
The cheese is cheap and chop
Imaginary by mouth and teeth
In the kitchen where no flour
And milk or butter but papers
And pens all in  " Safana Poetry Kitchen"

Remember!

The future is near by
That past, has gone

The adventure of darkness
encircled the world. And, that

Time when the
Florescence of the moon 🌙
******* dusky

That moment
Of sunshine,
is sightless

A double whammy,
From far
east and earth

Breeze in the
World life
Entirely

When, it's difficult
To prevent
And, to cure

Whilst, mortality
Eyes suddenly,
Awoken

Species are,
Leaving higher
Ground

Relationship
Gone, very
Not closer

That, a time
When trust
Is frightful

Provisions,
and no food
Supply

Traveling,
And not
To everywhere

Recreation,
And no one
To attend

The scenes,
Are more
Than a war

Remember!
