'All Set For Mars' Poem by Garba Ado Ibrahim

How I wish pen surprise missiles,
Lunch on a piece of paper,
Just like missile on a lunch pad,
Land on a target land,
A remarkable and stunning explosion
Shedding tears of ink and golden, power,
All set for friendly neighbour,

Sigh a sigh relief mother Earth, Turn father Mars,
Having been gasping for billion years,
Ripe clock breathe steady,
All on mother packed,
Insects, birds and animals,
Part, part portion and portion, Food, water and soil on sister soil,

Reunion rather union,
All set for beloved Mars,
Ancestors' abodes tears,
Miss a miserable misery so miserably,
Hijacked born and unborn children,
Impregnated for good terribly,
Subjugated and tortured brutally,
Planetary right, judge and attorney,
Grin a green smile with ecstasy,
Shuffle for bulky burden,

All Set for Mars dear,
Elephant lion king and deer,
Sharks starfish a crocodile,
Two divide one step to door,
Spread further like river nile,
Ocean and sea saddle, submarine,
Tired caves and mountain like Kilimanjaro,
Pyramid to groundnut pyramid in ancient Kano,

Pulling with mean mercy, impeding flying like butterfly,
Air-occupants sneer contemptuously,
Left behind for Mars,
I wish pens overtake missiles,
Regretfully set for dear Mars,
My breakfast on gas.
