Sayeed Abubakar Earth Poems

From night to day,
Sorrow to peace,
Pride to courtesy,
Hatred to love
...

My earth moves round my three kids round the clock.
I need no new stars more; they are my all.
No stream is so much sweet as their voice is;
No nightingale's song soothing like their call!
...

Your earth is run by robbers
Who kill men with exploitation and torture.
The wine of blood is their drink;
Still at Your throne You are silent.
...

Darkness devours here catching lights,
The way a lizard devours mosquitoes
Catching one after one with its tongue.
Here terrorism swallows captured lives,
...

If I leave earth, I wish to leave saying
To the world: ‘I have no sorrow in mind.'
‘No sorrow I have'—writing these words and
Wreathing them in mind, I will leave quietly
...
