our population is just plus 1.

they loved to the square of infinity
but her family's norm is religious
and their modern fossil rots in sadness —
because he's not their type nor does he have
a big pocket yet with an handsome dream...

her fam'ly isn't hungry, just famished
and perhaps wants to make a name with rich
homes. but she wants to live and not to die
but her father writes her off when she eloped... —
her father whom she loved before her birth.

he did her final rites like a ram's death,
hanged a wreath on her image as of soft
curling smoke in the cloud. her father did.
who buries the living to live as dead?
who digs six feet, 2 yards for the living?

she developed brain tumult, lived a pain-
filled eye, who will not die after ' buried?
think i well, i'll sink in a blink of an ink
and lay a good example for people.
i mean, i'm wrong at a wrong place to teach.

i will not kill but i will kill myself.

he loved her, he will not kill, he will die.
let the song sing and drums beat, let beads dance;
norms did it all, the fam'ly is broken,
see, our population is just plus 1.
our norms that hurt us, is just a genius.

Prepare her iced body, this is just a
parturition of a new birth, yea, death.
no siren, just eat and be glad at her
resting place, yet she's not resting, she's mourned
by her lover, norm is just a genius.

and our population is just plus 1.

One Poem by Muhammad Auwal Ibrahim

THE WEAKER ANIMAL

Allah has answered the prayer of the weaker animals
None think that you will survive such attack
By those big lions
For whatever they chase,
They make sure is no longer breathing
on earth
You are a rabbit that survived harassments by
Those dark dogs
Inside that forest
Think not, that is your speed that saved you
It is the protection of Allah
We are all animals
But of higher class
Not those that live in the forest
Of which some are weak
While some are strong
The weak is always threaten by the strong
Let's all learn how to live in peace
With one another
