Clothe me in your arms and chew my words like a bubble gum wobbles at the mercy of your dentals

Play me a rhythm and watch my feet twist to the magic of an African goat skin wrapped on artistically crafted wooden cylinder
                             ~~~~
Dear future wife, judge not the sins I hip like the pyramids of the great sokoto caliphate hidden beneath my pseudo royal regalia
                             ~~~~
I was born free yet adulthood preen the shackles of my forefathers crime deep to the pinnacle of my excellence.
                             ~~~~
Pardon my unfaithful bruises and i vow not to fall again if you be my shadow,
If you teach me and I promise not to forget,
                             ~~~~
Just as creation owes visit to the great beyond "death", I owe you a kiss for the love you offered, an apology for the wrongs I couldn't avoid
                             ~~~~
Judge not the wounds you see, nor the scars I hide; for each has its story,
Just as we will have a lullaby for our babies, lets set pace for our future
MBAMTO.
