‘TAKE A CHANCE’

The sun is set
Light emerged at once
Like a razor cut to a body
Must resulted into a dripping blood


O’ the star of my kingdom
“Ya Ruhil Qalby”
‘the begetter of my happiness’
“I have often been afraid
but I would not give in to it”


open your mind, blow the trumpets
“Thee shall not hide such a feeling”
be like a front line War Horse
like a speedy Rocket on course
like the sight of water upon thirst
like the feeling you get in your mind
when my eyes gazed in to your eyes
when my picture appears in your mind

Be BOLD, blow the trumpet !
Put that confidence
It must overpowered other minds

Why are you hiding like a crawling ants !
Come and stamp your legs like a Giant Elephant


This is your time
I challenge your wits
And pass my request
“should the living die
‘Cause the mind is tempted?”

Ahmad Abubakar,KANO,NIGERIA
