New Life Poem by Garba Inuwa

I can feel it in babies’ hand
Their innocent touch
and worthy smiles.

I can see hope
In barge of stress
And the commands of lords
That yields no prize
When they wag their fangs
And bark like dogs
they beseech our trust.

We give them fruits
Thinking they will be good
Or even appreciate kindness
there’s no comfort when in their midst.

I got more help
From those that
Hold no chain
or shackles in their hand,
another’s life can only be
saved when love is bestowed
in full.
