Verses from Sokoto

These men do have a brain – A drained brain
They also have a vision – A television – Not colored
Broad and wild – Thick and fit for the pit
Scary and dark – Barricaded as agreed
They do have a future too – With rugged features

Our clothes – Green and white
The strokes? – ‘Cus we asked why

He whom the gods hates – They impregnate
He whom they love – They demean

Serious trouble for our drowsy dross
Too fat for our skinny bones
Made thin by things unseen – I never said politic
Our fate is only that of epic
Only time may heal…
