Song Of 2011 Poem by HAKAM ABUBAKAR

Song Of 2011



These words are for you
Who has lived through
The changing hours of this year
Overcoming every obstruction and
fear.
When I pore over how passed time
My say about time chimes
With what always I hear
From elders who often are near.
Least did we expect some dead
Leaving families for others to head
Now we tread on paths alone
Learning for our sins to atone
I could only hear the clock tick
But some occurrences out i could not
pick
It remained certain as rising of the
sun
That many from hardship could not
run.
My voice so desperate echoes a
rapturous smile
For those who could cross the miles
Every obstacle they had to pass by
So the victory ladder they climbed
high
Within a tick we learned to stay
Without cherished ones who went
distances away
Yet we could have still a sound sleep
And many divine promises to keep
Religious festivals happened in a
joyous way
And kept us all replete with gay
Worship still is what remains in our
hearts
For we'll continue to pray off our
own bats.
While we stand always to cheer
When a good news is dispatched for
us to hear
We should crave always to be near
So in each other's agony we could
share.
The year has ended up in its own
way
And left us with an account to give
today
But to you who is in sorrow or in
felicitation
Awake! And pray a prayer of
benediction.
